Canadian teen Summer McIntosh breaks decade old 200m individual medley world record
The triple Olympic champion swimmer Summer McIntosh has shattered the world record in the 200m individual medley, rewriting Hungarian legend Katinka Hosszu's decade-old mark. McIntosh, who won three gold medals at the 2024 Olympic in Paris, clocked 2 minutes, 5.70 seconds on Monday at the Canadian trials for the World Championships in Singapore in July and August. She split 57.99 on the opening 100 to be .95 ahead of the world record pace at the halfway mark, only to fall off the a bit on the breaststroke leg. McIntosh trailed Hosszu's world record pace by .14 heading into the final 50 before racing home in 29.95 to shatter the old record. "It's awesome and 200m IM I think is my main race out of my top five, six races where I really have to execute perfectly,' McIntosh said. McIntosh broke her second world record in the meet's first three days. She demolished the 400m freestyle world record on Saturday in 3:54.18 to open the qualifiers. Then on Sunday, she swam the third-fastest 800m free in history, trailing only Katie Ledecky's top two times. The 18-year-old Canadian was previously the third-fastest 200m IMer in history thanks to her 2:06.56 to win Paris Olympic gold. With Monday's time, she passed American Ariana Kukors, who swam 2:06.15 at the 2009 Worlds, and Hosszu. "Breaststroke has always been my weakest so getting through that 50, just trying to get to the wall and knowing that I'll be really strong in that last 50 because my freestyle has been great here so far. 'Overall I'm really happy with that time and I always just trying to keep pushing forward but I'll have to look over my splits to see where my breaststroke was but happy with it," McIntosh, who will swim the 200m butterfly on Tuesday, said. McIntosh won three gold medals in 200m individual medley, 200m butterfly and 400m medley event at the Paris Games last year.

Summer McIntosh Shatters 200m Medley World Record
Last Updated: Summer McIntosh broke the women's 200m individual medley world record at the Canadian trials with a time of 2:05.70, surpassing Katinka Hosszu's 2015 record. Summer McIntosh shattered a decade-old world record in the women's 200m individual medley on Monday, finishing in 2 minutes and 5.70 seconds at the Canadian swimming trials. The 18-year-old surpassed Hungarian Katinka Hosszu's record of 2:06.12 set at the 2015 World Championships, becoming the first woman to break the 2:06 barrier. This was McIntosh's second world record at the meet, following her 400m freestyle world record on Saturday. The talented Canadian teenager also excelled in Sunday's 800m freestyle victory, recording the third-fastest time in history for an event not typically considered her strongest. However, McIntosh showed no signs of fatigue as she delivered another stunning performance to thrill the crowd in British Columbia on Monday. 'Overall really happy with that time and always just trying to keep pushing forward," McIntosh said after her record-breaking swim. 'It's awesome. 200IM is my main race out of my top five or six races where I really have to execute perfectly. There's no room for mistakes, and it's kind of a sprint event for me, so I'm really happy with that. It gives me a lot of confidence heading into Singapore," McIntosh added, referring to next month's World Championships. When asked how she prepared for Monday's effort after a gruelling weekend, she replied: 'Just recovering, sleeping as much as possible and eating a lot. And also mentally calming myself down and taking it one race at a time. I've had a lot of practice at that these past few years." McIntosh laid the groundwork for her record-breaking swim with strong performances in the butterfly and backstroke sections. An improved breaststroke, her weakest discipline, kept her on world record pace. She then surged ahead in the closing freestyle to obliterate Hosszu's record. Mary-Sophie Harvey finished second in 2:08.78, while Ashley McMillan came third in 2:12.08. (with AFP inputs) First Published: June 10, 2025, 10:41 IST
