TORONTO — Summer McIntosh is excited for a run to the Paris Olympics that differs from her last some three years ago.
The 17-year-old emerged victorious once again, winning the women's 200-metre butterfly at the Olympic & Paralympic Trials on Saturday night. McIntosh finished with a world-leading time of two minutes 4.33 seconds to go under the Olympic qualifying time of 2:08.43.
"It's so exciting, my last Olympics I just did freestyle events," McIntosh said."So being able to come back to doing my favourite events which is more IM fly-based, along with every style still, is really fun just to kind of see how to balance all of it together." "I don't really hear any of the outside noise when I'm at a pool like this, all I hear is the support and the screaming from the stands so that's what I try to focus on."
Josh Liendo of Markham, Ont., broke his own mark of 21.61 from 2022 with a 21.48 performance in the 50-metre freestyle. "It feels good, those are my main events," Liendo said."It feels good to be able to go fast in them and execute things the way I want to because, obviously, I'm gonna have to execute really well come the Olympic Games."
