MONTREAL World records "are made to be broken" those were the wise words from a young but thoroughly exciting Canadian swimmer this week.
Summer McIntosh bagged her third world mark in five days on June 11, clocking 4min 23.65sec to better her own 400m individual medley record at the Canadian Swimming Trials in Victoria.
The 18-year-old prodigy, already a triple Olympic champion, laid down another impressive marker with a dominant performance ahead of the World Championships in Singapore in July.
McIntosh's blistering time beat her old mark of 4:24.38 set in Toronto in May 2024 at the Canadian Olympic trials.
