At the Canadian swimming trials in Montreal, 19-year-old phenom Summer McIntosh shattered the women’s 200-metre butterfly world record with a time of 2:01.65, breaking the previous mark set by Chinese swimmer Liu Zige in 2009. The achievement, which she called 'the one world record I thought I would never break,' came after a dramatic race where McIntosh celebrated by slamming her fists into the water and smiling ear-to-ear. Her performance was fueled by the support of fans at the Olympic pool, many of whom carried signs like 'Fly Summer Fly!' McIntosh, who trains in Austin, Texas, under coach Bob Bowman, has now set four world records, including this one. Her mother, Jill, competed in the same event at the 1984 Olympics. The record-breaking moment was particularly significant as McIntosh had previously come within 0.18 seconds of the mark at the 2025 World Championships. Other notable results included Taylor Ruck's personal-best time in the women’s 100m backstroke and Nicolas-Guy Turbide’s new Para swimming record. The trials, broadcast live on CBC Gem, continue through Thursday with finals starting at 5:30 p.m. ET each day.
