At the world selections of Victoria, after the primacy in the 400 sl and the third half of the story in the 800, the eighteen year old Canadian knocked down another wall
Devastating. Another world record, which was missing: the one in the 200 mixed. Summer Mcintosh is taking everything. This time, at the world selections in Victoria, after the world championship in the 400 sl and the third half of history in the 800, the Eighteen -year -old Canadian canceled the world record of ten years ago of the Triolimpionica of Rio 2016, the Hungarian Katinka Hosszu, who called iron lady. It will be necessary to find a new nickname for the Triolimpionica of Paris, where Summer triumphed in the 200 butterfly, 200 mixed (precisely) and 400 mixed, two races that has yet to swim in these trials of the North American. Summer touched in 2’05 “70 and takes over in the register instead of the Hungarian who at the Kazan World Cup on August 3, 2015 had employed 2’06” 12, once that seemed unapproachable. But not for Mcintosh, who had won gold a year ago in 2’06 “56. He inflicted almost three seconds at the second, Mary Sophie Harvey (2’08” 78). For its fifth world record in the long tank, the Mcintosh at 150 meters was still a tenth behind the old limits in 1’35 “75, but given its great qualities to freestyle it has aimed at the last tank in 29” 95. A ballistic masterpiece after a butterfly fraction in 27 “19, the test on the back in 30” 80 and the frog one in 37 “79
His words
–
“The frog has always been my specialty, yes in the final 50 meters I only tried to touch the plate, knowing I am good for freestyle. So, overall, I am really happy with time. I always try to push. It’s all fantastic. The 200 mixed are my main race, among my five or six favorites, where I really have to do everything perfectly. There is no room for errors and it is a kind of Sprint race for me. So I am really happy. Much confidence in view of the Singapore World Cup. After the 800s it was not easy, between one race and the other I just try to recover, I am sleeping as much as possible, eating a lot and always remaining hydrated.
