Overview
- McIntosh set a new world mark of 2:01.65 in the 200m butterfly at the Canadian trials, shaving 0.16 seconds off Liu Zige’s 2009 time.
- The 19-year-old already holds multiple long-course world records and added the 200 fly to her collection on Sunday at the Montreal meet.
- McIntosh followed the record with a win in the 400m individual medley the next day, posting 4:27.35 which was slower than her own world record.
- Coach Bob Bowman, who McIntosh joined in Austin, said she has not reached her physical peak and expects further gains as she develops.
- The swim ends the last long-standing women's mark from the 2009 polyurethane 'supersuit' era and boosts Canada’s momentum ahead of international meets.
