Swim star Summer McIntosh puts 2028 Olympic goals to test in this week's Pan Pacific swim championships

Canadian swimming star Summer McIntosh has been very clear about what her goals are for the Los Angeles Olympics two years from now: five individual gold medals.

Everything she’s been doing over the past year has been geared toward that. This week's Pan Pacific swimming championships, in the same city she hopes to light up in 2028, will be the first real indicator of where she stands.

As the teen — for only a few more days with her 20th birthday next week — flew in for the meet which begins Wednesday, she was reminded of her expectations for the next Games.

“I literally didn't have my window open for the entire flight and then as I opened the window, I saw the stadium and I got chills. It was the coolest moment ever. I mean, flying over that stadium, I was just imagining what I hope to do there,” McIntosh said. “Every day I think about L.A. and I'm so excited for it. So to be in California I think is really special. Even just being in the state that the Olympics will be I think is really important.”

McIntosh won three gold medals at the Paris Olympics and catapulted to superstardom in her sport.

She is in a league of her own right now, holding four individual long-course world records in the 200m butterfly, 200m individual medley, 400m freestyle and 400m individual medley.

Her most recent world record — the 200m fly set at the Canadian trials in Montreal at the beginning of July — was extraordinary as she took down the longest-standing women’s world record, dating back to 2009.
