FLASH! Summer McIntosh Shatters 400 Free WR In 3:50.25<\/h4>\n

Summer McIntosh<\/strong> shattered Li Bingjie’s<\/strong> 400 free world record in 3:50.25 at the World Short-Course Championships in Budapest.<\/p>\n

It was the second WR of the meet so far following Gretchen Walsh’s<\/strong> shuddering effort in the 50 fly prelims.<\/p>\n

With that, McIntosh also became the first Canadian woman to win the 400 free at short-course worlds by claiming the first title in the Hungarian capital.<\/p>\n

Reigning champion Lani Pallister<\/strong> set an Oceania record of 3:53.73 in second with Mary-Sophie Harvey<\/strong> making it a Canada 1-3 in 3:54.88.<\/p>\n

McIntosh said: “I absolutely love this pool. It holds so many memories for me back in 2022 so to be back here after a lot of change since then so it’s kind of good to see that. Yeah, definitely a very fast pool as well.<\/p>\n

“Just to set the tone is always amazing to get day one started off right.”<\/p>\n
