During the month before her 18th birthday, Summer McIntosh became the first Canadian to win three gold medals in a single Olympic Games, winter or summer, with a silver medal thrown in for good measure.
No explanation required was the consensus among voters for The Canadian Press award for 2024 female athlete of the year.
McIntosh arrived in Paris with an ambitious program. Including heats, semifinals and relays, the Canadian raced 13 times over nine days at La Defense Arena. Her silver medal in the women's 400-metre freestyle on opening night at La Defense laid the foundation for her next race, which was the 400-metre individual medley.
McIntosh and Olympic champion hammer thrower Ethan Katzberg were chosen to carry Canada's flag in the closing ceremonies at Stade de France. She trains with Florida's Sarasota Sharks under coach Brent Arckey. McIntosh says she'll complete the last two classes she needs to graduate from high school in 2025.
