Her previous best of 4:25.87 was set in April 2023. “I was really just focusing on having fun with the race and taking it 100 at a time because it’s a pretty mentally challenging race,” McIntosh said. “Overall I’m really happy. I’ve always had fun with it and I definitely did .”She was dominant in her 400-metre freestyle victory on Monday and followed it up a night later with a comfortable win in the 200 free.McIntosh will appear in her second Olympics this summer in Paris.
