Canadian swimming sensation Summer McIntosh's resume has yet another eye-popping accomplishment: being named to the TIME100 Next list.
The annual list released last week, now in its fifth iteration, is a who's who of artists, activists and athletes. It celebrates and highlights emerging leaders across a number of fields who are "shaping the future and defining the next generation of leadership." Under the phenom category is where you'll find McIntosh – fresh off her historic three gold medal performance, and a silver medal to go with it at the Paris Olympics.
She's the youngest person on the list at 18 years old. WATCH | McIntosh joins CBC Sports to discuss her incredible year and TIME honour: During the Olympics, while she was still 17, McIntosh became the first Canadian ever to win three gold medals in one Games. "It means the world.
I'm just honoured to be listed with so many other amazing athletes and people from all over the world," McIntosh told CBC Sports.
