WATCH | CBC Sports' Devin Heroux profiles McIntosh:CBC Sports' Devin Heroux profiles world champion swimmer Summer McIntosh on her move from Toronto to Sarasota, Florida in order to join an elite training swim program.
Not long after the gruelling 400m IM race, McIntosh anchored Canada's women's 4x100m medley relay team to a bronze-medal win."Doing it together as a team, it means the world," McIntosh told CBC Sports' Devin Heroux.— Canadian swimmer Sophie Angus, who nearly left competitive swimming in March 2022 Angus swam 1:06.2 in the breaststroke, second fastest since Annamay Pierse's Canadian record performance of 1:05.74 in July 2009.
"It's pretty cool. I got to meet Annamay a month or two ago, so she's inspiring," said Angus, who has her first world medal after nearly quitting competitive swimming in March 2022. She pointed out the dream of earning a world medal and qualify for the Summer Games kept her motivated. "The reason I'm still swimming are [my relay teammates]," Angus added. "They're the ones that keep pushing me. I'm very glad I made that choice to still be here and looking forward to next year.
