ship's bell canadian river swim Trials: daylight 4 - Finals
Summer McIntosh added yet another feather in her historic cap on Day 4 of Canadian Swimming trials in Victoria on Tuesday.
The superstar teen from Toronto won the women's 200-metre butterfly final in a Canadian record time of 2:02.26, becoming the second-best performance in the history of the event behind China's Liu Zige (2009).
"I would almost rate it higher than the 200m IM just because I think this world record is the hardest one to get. ... Really happy with the 2:02-low. Going into tonight I didn't know if that was possible."

Although she was pleased with the performance, McIntosh suggested there's room for improvement in the event.
"I think my last stroke was just a little bit wonky, so I think I have at least point-one, point-two in that alone. I can definitely find the other little bits and pieces throughout the race," McIntosh said.
The 18-year-old has already taken down the world 400m freestyle and 200m individual medley marks, while setting a Canadian record in the 800m freestyle at this year's national trials alone.
McIntosh will further look to rewrite history when competing in the women's 400m individual medley and 200m backstroke on Wednesday, and the 200m freestyle on the final day of trials Thursday.

Ilya Kharun of Montreal cruised to victory in the men's 200m butterfly final in a time of 1:53.41, narrowly falling short of his own Canadian record time of 1:52.80 set at the Paris Games in 2024.
The 20-year-old's result on Tuesday night is the second-best men's 200m butterfly time in the world this year.
