Summer McIntosh takes part in the women's 400-metre individual medley at the Canadian Olympic Swim Trials in Toronto on Thursday May 16, 2026. McIntosh has broken her own world record in the women's 400-metre individual medley with a time of four minutes 24.38 seconds at the Olympic & Paralympic Trials. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Frank GunnThe improbable has become somewhat routine for Canadian swimmer Summer McIntosh.
McIntosh led by a full second at the 50-metre mark and was at world-record pace midway through the race. She seemed to get stronger over the final 100 metres and finished in four minutes 24.38 seconds. McIntosh has been so far out in front in both prelims and finals this week that the only drama is between her and the clock. On this night, she conquered it.
McIntosh is the two-time defending world champion in the 400 IM. She'll appear in her second Olympics this summer in Paris. "I really had a lot of confidence in my training because my breaststroke has been feeling good lately," she said. "So it's always good to see those little improvements coming to fruition."
