Summer McIntosh relishes swimming a race that she couldn't squeeze into her ambitious schedule at the Olympic Games in Paris.
"I'm also really excited to do the 200 backstroke because that's one of my favourite events that I haven't been able to focus on this past season since, because of the Olympics. I wasn't doing it there, so I didn't really focus on that event individually," McIntosh said. McIntosh, who trains with Florida's Sarasota Sharks under coach Brent Arckey, holds the long-course world record in the 400-metre I.M."It's double the turns. Short course is a really good challenge for me just because I don't have the best turns and underwater," McIntosh said Sunday.
McIntosh was 15 years old when she claimed the first international medals of her career at the 2021 world short course in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. She was a silver medallist in the 400-metre freestyle and medley relay and a gold medallist in the 4 x 200 freestyle relay.The last major international swim meet of the 2024 season is also the first of the quadrennial leading into the next Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 2026.
“I’m really looking forward to getting a couple of gold medals at this meet," Kharun said Monday in a Swimming Canada statement.
