Summer McIntosh is Canada’s first triple gold medallist in an Olympic Games, while also propelling Canada to its biggest medal haul in the pool at an Olympic Games.
The Toronto swimmer won her third gold in Paris with a victory in the 200m individual medley in an Olympic-record time of two minutes 6.56 seconds.
She also won the 400-metre medley and the 200m butterfly.
Kate Douglass of the United States was second, and Australia’s Kaylee McKeown third.
McIntosh’s medal was also her fourth in Paris after a silver medal in the 400-metre freestyle to kick off the meet.
She matched swim teammate Penny Oleksiak’s record of four medals at a Summer Games.
McIntosh could do one medal better if she races the medley relay in Sunday’s swimming finale in Paris.
Liendo, Kharun share podium
Earlier on Saturday, Canadian swimmers Josh Liendo and Ilya Kharun both made it to the podium in the men’s 100m butterfly final, earning silver and bronze, respectively.
The two became the first Canadian men to reach the podium in the 100 fly since Bruce Robertson’s silver in Munich in 1972.
It was the first time two Canadian male swimmers finished in the medals in the same Olympic race.
Kharun claimed his second Paris 2024 medal after taking bronze in the men’s 200m butterfly.
The Canadian mixed 4x100m medley relay team goes for gold at 3:58 p.m. ET.
Canadians Josh Liendo and Ilya Kharun finished second and third in the Olympic men’s 100m butterfly event at Paris 2024.
