In the weekend, 18-year-old Summer McIntosh, knocked out Australian Ariarne Titmus, nearly two years old world record at the Canadian championships.

It's clear that it stings a bit when you get your world record beaten. But I know how tough it is to swim so fast, says Titmus on Monday.

To be 18 years old and swim so incredibly well after the OS, she is a phenomenon. To set a world record in that way, who knows how far she will go?

It is now the second time Ariane Titmus gets to see her world record beaten by Summer McIntosh. Last time it happened was in March 2023.

Canadian Summer McIntosh took three gold and one silver at the Paris EM in the past year.
