Canada's Summer McIntosh earned a bronze medal and set a new world junior record in the women's 200-metre freestyle at the World Aquatics Championships on Wednesday.
However, her performance was overshadowed by that of Australian Mollie O'Callaghan, who set a world record of 1:52.85. The 19-year-old O'Callaghan smashed the previous mark of 1:52.98, set by Italy's Federica Pellegrini in 2009.
Fellow Australian Ariarne Titmus, who won the 400m on Sunday, touched the wall in 1:53.01 to win silver. Also Wednesday, Canadians Molly Carlson and Jessica Macaulay won silver and bronze, respectively, in the women's 20m high diving competition. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 26, 2023.
