Canadian teenage swimmer Summer McIntosh shattered another world record, this time in the 400m individual medley at the Canadian swimming trials on Saturday. The 16-year-old sensation repeated her earlier feat from just a few days ago, where she broke the world record for the 400m freestyle.
In a stunning display of speed and skill, McIntosh finished the grueling 400m individual medley in a blistering time of 4:25.87, eclipsing the mark set by Hungarian swimmer Katinka Hosszú at the 2016 Rio Olympics with a time of 4:26.36. This latest triumph cements McIntosh's status as one of the most dominant young swimmers on the world stage.
The result is part of an incredible week for the Canadian teen, who had broken Titmus' defending Olympic champion record in the 400m freestyle just days ago, clocking a time of 3:56.08 to claim the title. The achievement also marks a significant milestone in her career, having now beaten some of the most accomplished swimmers in the world.
Speaking after her latest victory, McIntosh expressed her emotions, saying she had vividly heard the crowd during her race for the first time - an experience she credited with helping her pull through in the final 100 meters. She also highlighted the support of her family and friends, who were in attendance at the event to cheer her on.
McIntosh's impressive resume includes a gold medal performance in both the 200m butterfly and 400m medley at the 2022 world championships, as well as two golds at the Commonwealth Games in the same events. The talented teen trains in Florida under coach Brent Arckey with the Sarasota Sharks team, demonstrating her commitment to excellence in the sport.
As she continues to make waves on the international stage, it will be exciting to see what the future holds for this remarkable young swimmer from Canada.

And its not just that she broke another record, shes also really nice about it too

16 yr old summer mcintosh is like a swimming prodigy!!! she just broke katinka hosszú's world record AGAIN 
her family & friends are so supportive too 
did u see that pic of her listening to the crowd? genius 
bts: 
. It's awesome to see her giving credit to the crowd, that's some serious focus and mental game right there 
!
. I mean, don't get me wrong, Summer McIntosh is talented and all that, but is she really changing the game or just reflecting our society's obsession with youth and athleticism? 
. And let's not forget, she's swimming in a highly controlled environment with the best equipment and coaching money can buy 
. What about all the other swimmers out there who don't have those advantages? 
i mean that girl is a genius in the water! 4:25.87 is insane 
her family and friends are so lucky to have her as their superstar 
i'm definitely keeping an eye on this talented teen
