So, when Bowman heaped compliments on <strong>Summer McIntosh<\/strong> earlier this week at the Bell Canadian Trials, his words carried significant weight.<\/p>\n<p>On the opening day of the meet in Montreal, McIntosh broke the longstanding world record in the 200-meter butterfly, going 2:01.65. That performance wiped out the 16-year-old standard of China&#8217;s <strong>Liu Zige<\/strong>, who went 2:01.81 late in the 2009 campaign, and while wearing a now-banned super suit. The 19-year-old McIntosh followed with a victory in the 400 individual medley, but an illness that started to show signs on Monday forced McIntosh to withdraw from the meet on Tuesday. McIntosh was slated to race the 400 freestyle and 200 IM for her final two events.<\/p>\n<p>Still, McIntosh shined during her races in Montreal, and Bowman knows she stands in elite company.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s hard to start naming the best women swimmers of all-time and not say her, right? Even now,&#8221; Bowman said in an interview with the CBC.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, McIntosh &#8211; as a teenager &#8211; is already a legend in the sport, and her best days figure to await. At one time, the world record in the 200 fly was deemed untouchable. McIntosh tracked it down. In the 400 IM, she knows no peer. The same can be said for the 200 IM and 400 freestyle, and Bowman sees commonalities between his Canadian charge and Phelps, who won 28 Olympic medals under Bowman&#8217;s mentorship.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They&#8217;re very similar,&#8221; Bowman said. &#8220;Scarily similar in some ways&#8230;(McIntosh has) a lot of the same things that Michael had. She has a very clear way of preparing for races. She knows exactly what her routine is from the time she walks in until the time that she swims, and then afterward, there&#8217;s a whole thing that is locked in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On a daily basis, McIntosh trains with a pro group that features some of the best swimmers in the world, including Marchand, <strong>Regan Smith<\/strong> and <strong>Hubert Kos<\/strong>. More, with youth on her side, McIntosh has her best days ahead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-module__text__0GDob text-module__dark-grey__UFC18 text-module__regular__qJJtA text-module__small__sph8i body-module__full_width__kCIGb body-module__small_body__gOmDf article-body-module__paragraph__Ts-yF\" data-testid=\"paragraph-4\">\u201cI think \u200bshe&#8217;s entering it, probably in the next four years,\u201d Bowman said of her prime. \u201cI think she can be stronger. There are a lot of things that we can add to help her be faster&#8230;just in terms of her \u200bphysiological maturity kind of now and in the next few years.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bob Bowman Sees Similiarities Between Summer McIntosh and Michael Phelps As the man who guided Michael Phelps to never-before-seen
