Summer McIntosh continues to star for Canada at the Paris 2024 Olympics and just barely missed out on her fourth medal at these Games.
The 17-year-old swimmer swam with the women’s 4x200m freestyle group today. McIntosh swam a very strong leg but it wasn’t enough to get the team on the podium. They finished in fourth place behind Australia who set an Olympic record, the United States, and China.
McIntosh already won a gold medal earlier today when she set an Olympic record in the 200m butterfly. It was her third podium finish of the Games and her second gold medal.
The 17-year-old has been the breakout star of the Paris Games for Canada and she has won nearly half of the nation’s Paris medals to this point.
McIntosh first broke onto the scene at the Tokyo 2020 Games as a 14-year-old. While she didn’t win any medals at that competition, she was involved in two fourth-place finishes. Her potential was obvious and she’s more than lived up to it since then.
