Where Summer McIntosh Ranks All-Time in Her Primary Events<\/strong><\/p>\n

After opening the Canadian Trials for the World Championships with a world-record performance in the 400-meter freestyle<\/a>, Summer McIntosh<\/strong> followed with four more dazzling performances. In the 800 freestyle on Sunday night, the 18-year-old star clocked 8:05.07 to move to the No. 2 performer of all-time, and to register the third-fastest performance in history. Only American Katie Ledecky has been faster in the 800 freestyle, led by her world record of 8:04.12 from earlier this year in Fort Lauderdale.<\/p>\n

On Monday night, McIntosh took down the world record in the 200 individual medley, going 2:05.70. That effort was well under the previous global standard of 2:06.12, set in 2015 by Hungarian Katinka Hosszu. For good measure, her 2:02.26 in the 200 butterfly on Tuesday scared the world record of 2:01.81, set in 2009 by China’s Liu Zige. She capped her meet with a world record of 4:23.65 in the 400 IM.<\/p>\n
