Summer McIntosh wins gold medal in 400-metre individual medley

Summer McIntosh won the women’s 400-metre individual medley Monday at the Canadian swimming trials, but fell short of her own world record.

The swimming phenom finished in four minutes 27.35 seconds, more than three seconds off her world-record time of 4:23.65, set last year in Victoria.

Ella Jansen, of Burlington, Ont., placed second in 4:38.17, while Mary-Sophie Harvey, of Trois-Rivières, Que., was third in 4:43.26.

McIntosh opened the meet Sunday by breaking the longest-standing individual women’s world record in the 200-metre butterfly.

The 19-year-old from Toronto also holds the world records in the 200 IM and 400 freestyle.

McIntosh won four medals — including three gold — at the 2024 Paris Olympics. She’s aiming for five gold medals at the Los Angeles Games in 2028.
