Canadian teenager Summer McIntosh should be a star at next year's Paris Olympics, and she showed why Sunday on the closing day of the swimming world championships in Japan.
The 16-year-old McIntosh won her second gold of the event, taking the 400-metre individual medley after winning the 200 butterfly gold on Friday.
"It was definitely motivating," McIntosh said of her first few days. "I try to turn everything that goes wrong into motivation somehow."McIntosh should be joined by other young stars in Paris like 21-year-old Frenchman Leon Marchand and Australia's 22-year-old Kaylee McKeown. Marchand and McKeown each won three individual golds.
Sjostrom, who set the world record in the semifinals on Saturday, powered home in the final 25 metres for the win, clocking 23.62. Shayna Jack of Australia picked up the silver in 24.10, while Zhang Yufei of China earned the bronze in 24.15.
