Toronto/CMEDIA: Sixteen-year-old Summer McIntosh of Toronto has set a world record in the women’s 400-metre freestyle event at the Canadian swimming trials.
McIntosh broke the world record by completing the 400-metre event in three minutes, 56.08 seconds, against 3:56.40 that was set last year by Australia’s Ariarne Titmus.
Having previously held the Canadian record in the event at 3:59.32, McIntosh also earned silver in the 400 freestyle at last year’s world championships, and won two gold and a bronze at the same world meet.
McIntosh first attracted national attention when as a 14-year-old she competed at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 and came fourth in the 400-metre freestyle event.
The selection of athletes for the world championships for Pan American Games later this year was being held by Canadian swimming trials which opened Tuesday.
