This is how Summer McIntosh trains to be the best | CBC Sports

Huge respect to her family/mom for this

Awesome job Summer and family, Canada is very proud of you.

From across the pond, Summer, I'm rooting for you in Paris this year! Go girl!

Amazing athlete!!!

Go Summer go!

Summer is a real phenom. Her races are amazing to watch.

Canada is very proud of you. canda flag

you see them in the competitions and they look more mature. In actual fact these are all just kids trying there best to get better. Lets just hope they havent skipped there childhood just for a few moments of glory.

Respect for not letting this country’s controlling covid policies not stop her. Good for you summer!!!

she is the phenom period

I think she is fantastic and still has even more potential. One could say doing both 200s and 400s free/IM is the full diversity line up. The only swimmers that come to mind for me who were able to do both mid-distance free and IM at the world stage are Phelps, Lochte, Thorpe, and (in the case of short-course recently at NCAAs) Marchand. And even Phelps, Lochte, and Thorpe would only do three out of those four events. That being said, where are McIntosh's effective underwaters, and why does a swimmer with this array of skills preform a basic open turn from back to breast instead of the quicker crossover? If she masters her turns and dolphin kick (the fifth stroke) she will be totally unstoppable, even against the likes of Titmus and Ledecky in the 400. This can be done if she is willing to deal with the stress and the pain. But no matter what, I'm rooting for this young woman. Records and reaching outstanding achievements that seemed impossible beforehand are what keep sports interesting.

Dad?

당신은 언제 웃나요? 수영할때는 웃지 않나요? 즐겁지 않은 수영인가요? 1등은 못해도 웃는 수영 선수가 되기를 바래봅니다.

And yet she swims for Canada 70% of medal winners actually live and train in the US and yet claim another country for medal count
