Bronze medallist Elizabeth Dekkers of Australia was almost four seconds behind McIntosh in 2:02.91. “I love Budapest overall. It’s an amazing place to be and swim and I love this pool as well. The crowd’s always amazing and electric, so feeding off that energy going into all my races definitely helps me get the best result.”
