Rome, June 12 (LaPresse) – Last night, Summer McIntosh broke her third world swimming record in five days, clocking a time of 4:23.65 in the women’s 400-meter individual medley at the Canadian Swimming Trials in Victoria, British Columbia. This was reported by The Guardian.
The 18-year-old from Toronto managed to improve on her own world record of 4:24.38, set earlier this year, and became the first swimmer to break world records in three different individual events in the same long-course pool since Michael Phelps at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
"Before I started the race, I knew I could do something really special – it was probably the best race of my career," said the swimmer in her post-race poolside interview.
