Canada’s Summer McIntosh won the gold medal in the women’s 400-metre individual medley for the second year in a row at the world aquatics championships on Sunday in Fukuoka, Japan.
McIntosh, the world record holder in the event, captured her third medal of the event after taking gold in the 200-metre butterfly and bronze in the 200-metre freestyle last week.
McIntosh finished in four minutes, 27.11 seconds, more than four seconds ahead of runner-up Katie Grimes of the United States.
Later, the 16-year-old Toronto native added a bronze medal, anchoring the 4×100-metre medley relay team.
Kylie Masse, Sophie Angus and Maggie Mac Neil joined McIntosh for the trip to the podium.
The Americans won gold, while Australia took silver.
McIntosh also won the 400 IM at last year’s world championships
McIntosh now has eight career medals at the worlds, all in the last two years.
Canada finished the worlds with six medals — two of each colour.
