Summer McIntosh wins four gold medals
Canadian sensation Summer McIntosh capped one of the greatest world championships performances of all time on Sunday, winning the women’s 400m individual medley to claim her fourth gold medal of the week.
The 18-year-old finished in a championship-record 4:25.78, not quite enough to beat her own world record of 4:23.65, but more than seven seconds ahead of her nearest challengers.
McIntosh joins Katie Ledecky as the only women ever to have won four individual golds at a world championships, according to NBC Sports. The Canadian was attempting to join Michael Phelps’ record of winning five individual golds, but lost to Ledecky in Saturday’s 800m freestyle final.
