TORONTO — Summer McIntosh and Javier Acevedo, representing the young and old hands of the Canadian Swimming squad, met poolside for what turned out to be an awkward greeting on Saturday.
The 26-year-old Acevedo bungled the last part of a new handshake devised by his younger Canadian teammates on the eve of the 2024 Olympic & Paralympic Swimming Trials at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre.Moments later, with a hint of nostalgia, Acevedo acknowledged the changes that time has brought to his career. Eight years ago, at the Rio Games, he was the youngest member of the Canadian swimming team.
"I'll always remember the way Ryan Cochrane and Yusi Kisil set the tone for us in Rio eight years ago," Acevedo said."I was so naive. But they were there to answer questions, and they always had a smile.Despite sky-high expectations that come with winning back-to-back world titles in both the 200-metre butterfly and the 400 medley, McIntosh is laser focused on her forecasts.
What does the World record holder in the women's 400-metre individual medley want to accomplish this week? In Toyko, she finished fourth in the 400-metre freestyle, setting a Canadian record, and she was part of a fourth-place finish in the 4X200-metre relay with Oleksiak, Rebecca Smith and Kayla Sanchez.
