Montreal: Summer McIntosh put its third world record in time Wednesday, displaying 4 minutes 23.65 seconds to improve its own record of 400 mixes during Canadian swimming tests in Victoria.
The 18 -year -old Canadian prodigy, triple Olympic gold medalist, established another impressive marker before the world championships next month in Singapore with a dominant performance.
McIntosh’s Breast Time beat its former brand 4: 24.38 in Toronto in May of last year during the Canadian Olympic trials.
The assault of McIntosh against his own world record began to start, the teenager ending the leg of opening butterfly at a world record rate.
It was more than a second ahead of the world record halfway, and although this margin fell to a tenth of a second after the breaststroke, it produced a freestyle electrifying in the section to finish a sparkling performance.
“Upon entering this evening, I knew I could do something really special because it was probably the best meeting of my career,” said McIntosh later in a pool game interview.
“World records are made to be broken. So, when I leave this sport, I want to make sure that this record is as fast as possible.
“It really makes me move forward, because I know that there will always be the next generation of children who will grow, and they will continue the disc. So I have to give them the best effort to see how long it can stay standing.”
Wednesday’s record display was the last entry to an impressive performance catalog it produced this week in British Columbia.
On Saturday, she broke the female record of 400m freestyle, cutting off more than a second from the Australian star Ariarne Titmus Best of the Australian star of 2023.
On Sunday, she then timed the third 800m the fastest free swim, before leaving in the swimming pool on Monday to erase the world record of the Great Hosszu from the Grande Hosszu by Katinka Hosszu.
McIntosh, who the gold medals in the 200m butterfly, the 200MD Medley and the 400m Medley at the Paris Olympic Games from last year, will now go to the worlds of next month to add to his collection of four gold medals in the world championship.
