Summer McIntosh Wins Second Gold in 200m Butterfly

Canadian swimmer Summer McIntosh achieved a remarkable feat at the Paris 2024 Olympics by winning gold in the women's 200m butterfly with a record time of 2:03.03, marking her second Olympic gold and third overall medal in the Games. The 17-year-old's victory not only established her as the first Canadian female swimmer to win two gold medals in a single Olympic event but also set an Olympic record, surpassing American Regan Smith, who finished with silver at 2:03.84. McIntosh previously earned gold in the 400m individual medley and silver in the 400m freestyle, showcasing her dominance in the pool. The performance comes amid scrutiny of Chinese swimmer Zhang Yufei, who finished third, as investigations into doping allegations continue to cast a shadow over the competition. With her impressive achievements, McIntosh has solidified her status as a rising star in swimming and is poised for more success in upcoming events. Canada currently holds a total of eight medals at the Paris Olympics, including three golds.
