Summer McIntosh won her second gold medal and made Canadian history on Sunday at the World Aquatics Championships in Fukuoka, Japan.
The 16-year-old from Toronto captured the world title in the women’s 400-metre individual medley final for her fourth-career gold medal at worlds, the most by any Canadian swimmer.
McIntosh finished in four minutes 27.11 seconds, the third-fastest time in history. The Canadian came into the event holding the world record in the event (4:25.87) which she set in Toronto in April at national trials.
“Going into tonight I just wanted to see how hard I could push myself,” McIntosh said.
