TORONTO — The improbable has become somewhat routine for Canadian swimmer Summer McIntosh.
She delivered yet another stellar performance at the Olympic & Paralympic Trials on Thursday night by trimming over a second off her world-record time in the 400-metre individual medley.
"I was really just focusing on having fun with the race and taking it 100 at a time because it's a pretty mentally challenging race," McIntosh said."Overall I'm really happy. I've always had fun with it and I definitely did ."It was McIntosh's third win of the Trials. She kicked off the event on Monday with a dominant showing in the 400 free, leaving the field well behind.
The partisan crowd let out a roar when the hometown favourite was introduced and the noise only got louder through the race. She broke out as a 14-year-old at the Olympic Trials in 2021 and just missed the podium at the Tokyo Games that summer. Ella Jansen of Burlington, Ont., was over 14 seconds behind in second place in 4:38.88. She was three-10ths of a second off the Olympic qualifying time.
