McIntosh starts off with a bang
McIntosh has already started the event in a big way.
On Saturday, the 18-year-old Toronto native smashed the women’s 400-metre freestyle world record, touching the wall in three minutes 54.18 seconds.
McIntosh shaved the record by 1.20 seconds set by Australia’s Ariarne Titmus (3:55.38) in 2023 at the world championships in Fukuoka, Japan.
“Going into tonight I knew that my training had been strong the past couple months and I knew I was able to do something special, but I did not think I would be that fast,” McIntosh, who shaved the record by 1.20 seconds, told CBC’s Devin Heroux.
