Summer McIntosh is rewriting the record books before she can legally drink. At 17, she won three individual gold medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics — the 200m butterfly, 200m IM, and 400m IM — plus silver in the 400m freestyle, making her the most decorated Canadian Olympian at a single Games. She already holds multiple world records and has amassed roughly 10 World Championship medals. What makes McIntosh terrifying for her competitors is simple math: she's 19 years old with potentially a decade of elite swimming ahead. The current world number one female swimmer may not have even hit her peak yet.
