McIntosh eases into 400 medley final, Marchand almost misses out
Summer McIntosh is on track to finish the world championships with a fourth gold medal after being fastest in the 400 meters individual medley heats while Leon Marchand nearly missed the men’s final on the eighth and final day in Singapore on Sunday. McIntosh cruised to victory in her heat in four minutes and 35.56 seconds for the final later on Sunday, nearly 12 seconds shy of her world record (4:23.65) from Canadian trials in June. The biggest cheers might have been for 12-year-old Yu Zidi, though, as the Chinese schoolgirl won her heat to qualify third for the final in 4:36.49, less than a second off the personal best (4:35.53) that clinched the national title in May.

New Zealand’s defending champion Lewis Clareburt also bombed out of the heats. The US qualified fastest for the men’s 4x100 medley relay final with Jack Alexy swimming the anchor leg for the Paris Olympic silver medallists. But Olympic champions China crashed out as the ninth quickest nation along with 11th-ranked Australia. The US women also qualified fastest in the medley relay in 3:54.49, a second clear of
