It's like comparing apples to apples --- Summer McIntosh, and some are not.
This is the kind of comment that gets pinned to the top, WELL DONE!
Thanks, CBC! I'm honored!
I saw what you did there.
Fun fact: her sister is a junior worlds bronze medallist in pairs figure skating!
She’s clearly in a league of her own! Others swimmers should be scared of her. Bravo Summer! Can’t wait to see you getting your first Olympic gold medal! 🥇
Other swimmers scared of her. You obviously have no idea what competitive swimming is all about translation CLUELESS
and you was right she did earn in fact a gold medal today :D
I love how relaxed she seems to be swimming, yet she broke her own record. 💪🏽
She's so smooth in the water. Looks effortless.
I have softball at 5:30 at the rec park because I won’t be here. I have so far tonight until 530. I will be watching the news at 1:30 to see if you have practice. If so, I will see you guys today.

Everybody is talking about her perfect technique but no one is talking about her unbelievable strength and stamina!
not talking about because it's totally implied.
thats because they all have amazing strength and stamina. Summer just has truly exceptional technique.
Techique is perfection That is poetry in motion. Props to the lead commentator.
yes... outstanding swimming commentary throughout the race.
like how? I don't see anything special about her technique, many swimmers are doing the same, but she's just fast, I wonder why.
goddess of swimming. Summer best of best
The Canadian Swim Beast!🏊♀🏊♀🏊♀🏊♀
Unfrakenbelievable
GO SUMMER GO
Summer’s butterfly should be the textbook example for everyone learning the stroke.
Congrats Summer and rest of team Canada 🍁 ❤
I'm so excited to se her swim this summer for the Olympics.
Absolutely SENSATIONAL!!
Go Summer Go!
Poetry in Motion. Congratulations Summer!♡
that is insane.
can't wait to see what she does the rest of the meet and at Paris!
Wow, great swim.
Incredible.
Wow!
Insane
Awesome swim, can’t wait to watch you at the Olympics. 🎉👏💐
WOW 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Excelente nadadora!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This is one gold medal you Canadians can bank on in Paris. No one will get close to her.
How many times have i heard this before and it did not come to fuition I'm sixty two and have been watching the Olympics since I was ten years old🙄
@jacquelinerussell8530 I have also been watching the Olympics for over half a century and some gold medals are nailed on. The 400IM isn't an event in which champions come from nowhere because of the skillset required to compete and McIntosh is a long way ahead of any competitors.
If you like it, I love, I'm thinking you are our neighbors to the North👍I truly hope your swimmer lives up to the hype. However, I guess you know who I will be rooting for USA all the way😊👍
@jacquelinerussell8530 McIntosh is by far the favorite. Doesn’t matter who you are rooting for, if you don’t expect McIntosh to win, you’re delusional.
Yup, no one is anywhere close to Summer’s time. It might be one of the biggest margins of victory in the pool during the whole Olympics.
Wow!Good Job!Keep going!
Great swimming - made world record pace look easy
Awesome! Fantastic swimmer.
Amazing 🙌. Simply the Best !
Sooooooo good
Summer 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Woooooohhhh!!!
Bravooo
썸머언니 멋져!
She's not human!

Felicidades
Return of the mac
WOW
Wow...that young lady can go! Well done. Looking forward to seeing these young athletes compete in Paris
This is mind-blowing to watch!
This is Summer McIntosh!
Wow! from a biased Aussie, that was an outstanding swim, Congratulations Summer.
I believe our neighbors to the North will do very good in Paris😊a lot of young excellent swimmers
To good
wow superstar اداء+كاريزما
wow
that’s gold right there at paris. there’s no one faster in the world this yr damn that’s fast
There's no one this fast EVER (in this event), not just this year... she won the Olympic Gold by nearly 6 secs over 2nd place, which in swimming is like winning a hockey game 10+ to 0 or for my Murican friends... winning a football game 42-6.
Wow
WELL DONE , SUMMER
she makes fly so easy 😭
still not over this
14 seconds faster than everyone else wow
반했어요
Has the world record and and is still 5 seconds ahead of the competition is CRAZY
Summer is Very IMPRESSIVE!!
I saw an hyack coach let’s goooooooooooo(I do to hyack)
Watching a one-in-a-million athlete! Wow!. Reminds me of "Secretariat" who was unbeatable. ( Not comparing Ms. MsIntosh to a horse, but the comparison is meant to illuminate the RARITY of special athletes.)
That’s crazy 😅
What a beast, she absolutely blew past her competitors
Nice
와 매킨토시 진짜 잘한다.. ㅎㅎㅎ 그리고 예쁘다 !
Mack the Knife
Can’t wait for Paris!! It’ll truly be the Summer’s Olympics. 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Nice pun on the name.
She is pretty & talented 😘😍😉💋
Medley is the best event
nice💐
5:12
Summer is unbelievable and still so young. Reminds me of another swim great, Katie Ledecky.
just excellent lovely
Gold medals Olympic Paris ❤❤❤❤ 2024 100%
I love the Canadian "You qualified to be nominated" - Canada, I hope you nominate her, she's already got a gold medal for you.

🇨🇦👋From an ocean to another one! Hello Canada. 👋🇨🇦
Is there a differenece between running and cycling when determining the max heart rate ?
Her fly looked so relaxed and her other 3 stroke events were flawless. But she needs to work on better placement of her parka/chair😝
Summer lives and trains in Florida. So I guess the Americans can claim some credit for her success as well.
@lilyyagnych3168 She now has access to the best training facilities in the world and is training with one of the best clubs in the country and Coach Arckey will have her ready for Paris. She's an honorary American now.
Porém a força sobrenatural desmancha qualquer abacaxi ok é a diferença😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤😊
Aquawoman
Nerviram se uh 😊😊😊😊seriuse..etc
Summer swimming 400 IM, 200 Fly, 400 Free at the Olympics
She's a beast, an amazing swimmer. But she'll have strong opposition in 400 m freestyle in Ariarne Titmus. It will be a one-race spectacle between the two. Canada vs Australia!
God'angel.
More record is coming
Summer is a cool swimmer! Greetings from Russia
Where is pool?
Wonderful swimmer! Much better than K. Hosszu in all strokes!
como estan los momios de maquintosh?
Coreia a força e o poder sobrenatural qual a diferença e a diferença está aqui ok parabéns moça parabéns muito linda❤❤😊😊😊❤😊😊😊😊😊😊❤pul😊
Mc in ok
Man idk who this girl but damn 😅
she's in another level. She must compete with other fish 🙂
Mc instosh une ancestor name Indians pure laine d Irlande ,,,, hiiiiiihahaha ... bravos.
How dya like thems apples 🍎
That was bad... 😁
Congratulations Summer, you swam like a shark!!! 🦈🇨🇦
I just have one question.
How? At the age of 16, then 17, then 18?
“ Why ? France Paris “ Summer Olympic game may I intruded “ North Korea “ X “ South Korea Why ? Why! Why !
I believe that after Paris the name Summer McIntosh will be talked about like some one named Phelps. 🇨🇦💪
I don’t think she’s getting 8 world records, nor taking a 4-peat in a single event. I’m saying this as a Canadian: There will be women attending these Paris games that deserve FAR more praise.
How is she so fast? Other pro swimmers are taller and more muscular...
Like in every sport... technique beats size, strength, height etc..
I predict that Summer McIntosh wins Olympic Gold in 400 Meter at under, 4:28:38. She beats this her own world recordvat the Olympics in Paris. Win Summer. Summer Wins! Olympics, you're warned.
Good job CBC:not having a graphic showing the splits how fast she was beating the time by. Or showing how much she beat it by.
Watch the bottom of the screen genius
That technology hasn't arrived in Canada yet
When the original video was uploaded the graphic wasn't visible on mobile or PC it has not been changed @yihongli5805
You want that ? They couldn’t even list what place the athlete was in yet.
Summer McIntosh with her world record. she’s closer to the Olympic dream. This is the gold medal can bank on it in Paris. No one will get closer to her.
