McIntosh’s bid for world domination, Ledecky shines
Hindustan Times Patna
|July 28, 2025
Teenage swimming sensation Summer McIntosh launched her world championships with a packed programme and will go head-to-head later Sunday with Katie Ledecky as they renew their Paris Olympics rivalry.
The 18-year-old Canadian McIntosh and American great Ledecky, who is a decade older, will face off on day one in Singapore in the evening for the 400m freestyle crown.
McIntosh is the world record holder and favourite, especially with Australia’s Paris Olympics gold medallist Ariarne Titmus on an extended break following the Games last summer.
McIntosh took silver in the French capital behind Titmus, with Ledecky third in the weaker of her three freestyle events.
