Summer McIntosh sets world junior, Canadian records in 200m butterfly at national swimming trials

Summer McIntosh now has a hat-trick of records after her first three events at the national swimming trials at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre.

On Friday night, McIntosh set a world junior and Canadian record in the 200-metre butterfly.

Her time of 2:04.70 took down her previous record time (2:05.05) set earlier this month. McIntosh's smooth, powerful strokes helped her surge to the wall in a blistering time, once again electrifying the crowd.

The generational talent is having a remarkable meet.

It started on opening night when the 16-year-old swimming sensation broke the world record in the 400m freestyle.

With her parents, Jill and Greg McIntosh, in the crowd on Tuesday night, Summer stopped the clock in a time of 3:56.08, breaking the world record held by Ariarne Titmus of Australia.

"I don't think pressure really exits in my mind," McIntosh said Friday. "The only true pressure is the pressure I put on myself to perform."

On Thursday night, McIntosh broke her own world junior record in the 200m individual medley. Her time of 2:06.89 yesterday would have won gold at worlds last summer.

And her time also would have won gold at the Tokyo Olympics by more than a second.

Riding the momentum of McIntosh's fast swimming, another rising star in Ilya Kharun narrowly fell short of a Canadian record in the same event.

Kharun, 18, lowered his own national record time in the 200m fly, stopping the clock at 1:54.57.

He previously set a national record time of 1:54.49 in the event at the beginning of March.
