TORONTO — Summer McIntosh delivered a breakout performance at last year's Olympic trials. She returns to the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre for this week's World Cup as a bonafide swimming star.
McIntosh didn't disappoint in her homecoming, winning gold Friday night in the women's 400-metre freestyle in a Canadian record time of three minutes 52.8 seconds.
American superstar Katie Ledecky settled for silver in 3:52.88, while Siobhán Bernadette Haughey of Hong Kong claimed the bronze in 3:58.50.
A virtual unknown outside of swimming circles when she qualified for the Tokyo Games as a 14-year-old, there's no mistaking her presence now.
