Olympic champion and Toronto’s very own Summer McIntosh has made history yet again by breaking several world records within a week, including her own at the Bell Canadian Swimming Trials.
The gold medalist has been competing in the trials held in Victoria, B.C since Saturday.
During this time, McIntosh broke the previous world record that she set for the 400m individual medley on Wednesday night, finishing in 4:23.65.
Last year, during the Olympic trials McIntosh set a new record when she finished in 4:24.38.
It’s been an incredible run for McIntosh this week, who previously broke the record for the 400m freestyle on Saturday and the 200m individual medley on Monday.
McIntosh finished the 400m freestyle in 3:54.18 and the 200m individual medley in 2:05.70.
McIntosh’s stunning performance has been generating a lot of buzz online, with many once again impressed by her many wins.
“G.O.A.T. You have to appreciate her dominance. Once in a generation athlete,” an X user said.
“She went all out and gave Canada a show,” another user said.
“Summer McIntosh breaking records left and right… it’s a good time for Canadians in sport,” another X user said,
The champ herself took to Instagram to reflect on the past week.
“What a week Victoria! Had so much fun in the pool this week, thank you so much for all the support,” she wrote on Instagram.
McIntosh has long established herself as one to watch for after becoming the first Canadian in history to win three gold medals at the Olympics, which she achieved at the 2024 Olympic games in Paris.
McIntosh is set to compete at the world championships in Singapore next month, which will mark her first major competition since competing in last year’s Olympic games.
The world championships are set to begin on July 27.
