Summer McIntosh caps swimming world championships with fourth gold
SINGAPORER: Summer McIntosh captured her fourth gold medal at the world swimming championships by winning the 400-meter individual medley on Sunday in Singapore. McIntosh, an 18-year-old from Toronto, finished the race in 4 minutes, 25.78 seconds, nearly 7.5 seconds better than Australia's Jenna Forrester and Japan's Mio Narita. McIntosh also secured gold in the 200-meter butterfly, 200-meter medley and 400-meter freestyle as well as the bronze in the 800-meter freestyle. She joined American star Katie Ledecky as the only other female swimmer to claim four individual golds at a world championships, with the latter winning the 200-, 400-, 800- and 1,500-meter freestyle in 2015. Also yesterday, the United States' women's 4x100 medley team of Regan Smith, Kate Douglass, Gretchen Walsh and Torri Huske broke their own record by finishing the event in 3:49.34, that was 0.29 better than the previous mark. "This is the best way to end the meet," Walsh said. "And I feel like we have such a good opportunity when you have this stacked group of women closing it out on a relay like this. "We're going to leave Singapore with a smile on our faces." From a team perspective, the Americans recorded nine gold medals — one better than Australia. France finished third followed by Canada, which saw McIntosh win all of its golds. — REUTERS

Tang Jie-Ee Wei fall short but Jimmy-Pei Jing shine in Macau Open semis
Malaysia's Toh Ee Wei and Chen Tang. — FAIHAN GHANI/The Star PETALING JAYA: Hopes of an all-Malaysian final in the mixed doubles event at the Macau Open were dashed after top seeds Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei fell in the semi-finals on Saturday (Aug 2). Playing at the Macau East Asian Games Dome, Tang Jie-Ee Wei started brightly against Denmark's Alexandra Boje and Mathias Christiansen, who recently returned to competition after serving a one-year suspension for failing to comply with anti-doping whereabouts requirements. But the Malaysians were unable to maintain their momentum as the match slipped into a decider. After a 54-minute battle, they went down 21-15, 17-21, 11-21. The Danes will face another Malaysian pair Jimmy Wong-Lai Pei Jing in the title match. Earlier, Jimmy-Pei Jing secured their place in the final after overcoming Indonesia's sixth seeds Amri Syahnawi-Nita Marwah 21-18, 21-16. It will be Jimmy and Pei Jing's fourth final of the year, but reaching the final in Macau is considered their biggest feat yet, with the tournament carrying Super 300 status. In the men's doubles, Wan Arif Wan Junaidi-Yap Roy King emerged victorious in an all-Malaysian semi-final clash, beating Choong Hon Jian-Muhammad Haikal Nazri 21-13, 21-15. Arif-Roy King will take on the winners of the other semi-final between top seeds Sabar Karyaman Gutama-Moh Reza Isfahani of Indonesia and Taiwan's Lee Fang-chih-Lee Fang-jen.
