Canadian teen Summer McIntosh shatters a 3rd world swimming record in 5 days
VICTORIA, Canada — Canadian teen Summer McIntosh has done it again.
The 18-year-old made it three world records in less than a week when she broke her own 400-meter individual medley mark on Wednesday night.
McIntosh won at the Canadian swimming trials in 4 minutes, 23.65 seconds to lower her previous best in one of the sport's toughest events by 0.73 seconds.
Her closest rival was 12 seconds behind.
'What a week Victoria! Had so much fun in the pool this week,' McIntosh wrote on Instagram.
McIntosh had already broken the world best mark in the 200 individual medley on Monday in 2:05.70, two days after shaving more than a second off the 400 freestyle record, completing the race in 3:54.18.
The Toronto native also set new Canadian marks in two other events: The 200 butterfly, where she was less than half a second off a record that has stood since 2009, and the 800 freestyle, where she was also just off Katie Ledecky's world record set last month.
She is scheduled to compete in those five events at the world aquatics championships in Singapore next month.
McIntosh won three gold medals at the Paris Olympics last year, winning her three individual events of the 400 and 200 individual medleys and the 200 butterfly. She also won silver in the 400 free.

Fritz beats Auger Alliasime to reach Stuttgart final
US tennis player Taylor Fritz in action against Canadian tennis player Felix Auger-Aliassime during their men's singles semi final match of the Stuttgart Open tennis tournament. Marijan Murat/dpa Second seed Taylor Fritz defeated Felix Auger-Alliasime 6-4, 7-6 (7-5) on Saturday to reach his first final of the year at the Stuttgart Open. American Fritz hit 10 aces and did not face a break point from his fourth seeded Canadian opponent who managed 15 aces but also accumulated 23 unforced errors, while Fritz had just 12. Advertisement Fritz clinched the first set thanks to a break in the 10th game when Auger-Alliasime hit a forehand wide on a hot afternoon. Fritz missed his second break point in the fourth game of the second set but prevailed in the tie-break on second match point when Auger-Alliasime hit a backhand wide. "I am so happy. It seemed it came down to a few points. I felt very lucky to get break in first set. I had more chances in the second. The tiebreak was close but it is great to be in the final," Fritz told broadcasters DF1. Last year's US Open and ATP Finals runner-up Fritz bounced back well from a disappointing first-round exit at the recent French Open in his start into the grass court season, where he was won three of his eight career titles - all of them in Eastbourne. Advertisement On Sunday, he will either face German top seed Alexander Zverev or fellow American third seed Ben Shelton, who contest the other semi-final. Fritz said he has no preference: "I don't care, it will be a very tough match either way." Stuttgart is among the tune-up events for Wimbledon which starts on June 30.
