Canada’s Summer McIntosh has claimed her third gold medal of the world swimming championships.
The 18-year-old from Toronto won the women’s 200-metre butterfly on Thursday in a meet-record 2 minutes 1.99 seconds, just shy of the world record 2:01.81.
Regan Smith of the United States finished second in 2:04.99, while Australia’s Elizabeth Dekkers took bronze in 2:06.12.
McIntosh also won the 200 freestyle and 400 individual medley earlier in the meet.
She’s aiming for five individual titles at the eight-day competition — a feat only U.S. great Michael Phelps has achieved at a single world championship.
The victory gives McIntosh 11 career medals at long-course world championships, moving her past Canadian teammate Kylie Masse.
