Watch live coverage of every race at the swimming worlds on CBCSports.ca and CBC Gem, with finals beginning at 7 a.m. ET each day. The full competition schedule is available here.
McIntosh kicked off her world championship campaign Sunday by taking down American icon Katie Ledecky in the women’s 400m freestyle final, touching the wall in 3:56.26.
“I think I’m at my best. I’m in the best shape of my life. So now I just have to act on that and put it into all my races,” McIntosh said after Sunday’s final.
The result in the 400m free final helped McIntosh extend her Canadian-best career gold medal total to five at long-course worlds, and with her ninth medal overall moved into a tie with Kylie Masse and Penny Oleksiak for most ever by a Canadian.
Day 1 of the swimming world championships started fast, with Summer McIntosh winning gold in the women’s 400m freestyle, beating out Katie Ledecky of the USA, who took bronze. We hear from McIntosh as well as Canadian Ilya Kharun, who had a disappointing 50m fly. Brittany MacLean Campbell & Devin Heroux tell you everything you need to know from the world swimming championships.
