Canada's McIntosh breaks 400m medley world record

On Wednesday in Victoria, Canadian swimmer Summer McIntosh set a new world record in the 400-metre individual medley during the national swimming trials.
McIntosh lowered her previous world record set last May at the Toronto Olympic trials, marking her third world record this week at the BC event.
During the week, the 18-year-old also established world records in the 200m individual medley and 400m freestyle, while setting new national bests in the 800m freestyle and 200m butterfly events.
She swam the 400-metre medley in 4:23.65, beating her old record by 0.73 seconds, and said, "World records are made to be broken."
McIntosh's series of dominant performances positions her to add to her four world championship gold medals at next month's World Championships in Singapore.
