Canadian teenager Summer McIntosh has shattered not one, but two world records in record time. Just a few days after shattering the 400m freestyle world record, she broke the 400m individual medley world record at the Canadian swimming trials on Saturday.
In an impressive display of speed and agility, McIntosh completed the challenging event in a blistering 4:25.87 minutes, eclipsing the mark set by Hungarian swimmer Katinka Hosszú at the 2016 Rio Olympics with a time of 4:26.36.
This victory further solidifies McIntosh's reputation as one of the world's top swimmers. Following her latest triumph, she broke defending Olympic champion Ariarne Titmus' previous record for the 400m freestyle just last Tuesday, setting a new record of 3:56.08 minutes. This latest achievement is a testament to McIntosh's incredible speed and dedication to her craft.
When asked about her emotions after the event, McIntosh revealed that she had never really felt the energy of the crowd before, thanks to the support of her family and friends in attendance. "It's amazing to have all my family and friends in the stands, cheering me on," she said. "It really helped me in the last 100 meters."
This latest achievement marks another milestone in McIntosh's illustrious swimming career, which began when she made her Olympic debut at just 14 years old. Since then, she has won gold medals at multiple international events, including the world championships and the Commonwealth Games.
Currently training under coach Brent Arckey with the Sarasota Sharks team in Florida, McIntosh continues to build on her reputation as one of the world's top swimmers, pushing herself to new heights with each passing day.

OMG I'm literally so impressed by Summer McIntosh's speed and agility 
! She's like a superhero in the pool 
. I love how she credits her family and friends for their energy and support - it's all about having a great team behind you, right? 
As someone who's always talking about the importance of mindfulness and self-care, it's amazing to see athletes pushing themselves to new limits like this 
. And can we talk about how dedicated she is to her craft? Training under coach Brent Arckey with the Sarasota Sharks team in Florida - I'm sure that's no easy feat 
And she's still so young, only 17, and already a legend in the sport. Her focus and dedication are truly inspiring 
It definitely gave her an extra boost of energy at the end of the race. I'm seriously living for these incredible swimming moments right now 
No wonder she's got that confidence on her face 
. But what I love most is how much support from her fam & friends means to her 
. We need more athletes like her who stay humble & grounded amidst all the hype 
...
[ 4:25.87?!?!? ] I'd rather be swimming with the fishes than trying that in a competition

4:25.87 is just a warm-up for this queen 
! 
She's just 19 and already breaking records left and right! It's clear she's got an incredible amount of talent and dedication going on. And isn't it amazing how having her loved ones in the stands really made a difference for her? 
, it's so inspiring to see someone stay focused like that 
. I mean, yeah she's good and all, but two world records in one week? It feels like they're just trying to make her out as some kind of swimming god or something 
. And what's with all these interviews where she talks about how her family and friends helped her? Like, who doesn't have a supportive squad? 
. I swear, if she just swam casually down to the pool one day and got that 4:25 record, would they still be making such a fuss?

anyway, can't wait to see what she does next, fingers crossed she breaks more records 
! I mean, breaking two world records in one week is just insane 
she said the energy of the crowd actually helped her in the last 100m... that's so cool 
! I mean, think about it, she's been training for years, but now she's got her whole crew cheering her on, and it makes all the difference 
. And let's not forget, it's not just about her skill or hard work – she's also got mental toughness 
It's clear she's got an amazing support system too - family and friends are the real MVPs
