Canadian Olympic Trials, Night 2: Summer McIntosh Just Off Best in 200 Free<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since the beginning of 2023, only four women<\/a> have broken 1:54 in the women\u2019s 200 freestyle.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s world record holder Mollie O\u2019Callaghan,<\/strong> with her 1:52.85 from the 2023 World Championships. There\u2019s her countrywoman Ariarne Titmus.<\/strong> There\u2019s Siobhan Haughey<\/strong> of Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s Summer McIntosh,<\/strong> the world junior record holder who joins O\u2019Callaghan with three swims under 1:54 in that time frame.<\/p>\n

McIntosh fired off a time of 1:53.69 Tuesday night, the second evening of finals at Canadian Olympic Trials in Toronto. The time is just .04 off her best, a world junior and Canadian record. And it solidifies her contender status in what is shaping up as one of Paris\u2019 best events.<\/p>\n
