Overshadowed a bit by the footie this weekend is the fact that Summer McIntosh broke the 200m world record, setting a time of 2:01:65 at the Canadian swimming trials. That's on top of three world records she set in last summer's trials, tying a record for records set by Michael Phelps at the 2008 Olympics, where he won 8 gold medals. Summer now works with his former coach so comparisons between her and Phelps are going to become more common, too. Two years until the next Olympics but she does have world championships and other events before then.
And the final sweet note on this one: Her mother swam the 200m at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, which is where Summer will be swimming in two years for the 2028 games.
