Canadian swimmer Summer McIntosh sets a new women’s 200-metre butterfly world record at the national trials in Montreal. Multiple outlets report she touches the wall in 2:01.65 on Sunday night, eclipsing the previous mark held by China’s Liu Zige. The achievement is described as the last remaining world record from swimming’s “supersuit” era, when polyurethane suits helped produce a cluster of record performances before suits were banned by the sport’s governing body FINA in 2010. Yahoo Sports and BBC Sport both note that the record she breaks had stood as a longstanding women’s benchmark in the sport. Winnipeg Free Press and City News Toronto frame it as McIntosh becoming the current world-record holder in the event at the Canadian trials, with City News Toronto adding that she expresses strong personal significance for the record. In addition, the Vancouver Sun notes McIntosh later withdraws from the trials days after breaking the record, indicating a change in participation following the performance. Sources broadly agree on the event, location, distance, and that McIntosh replaces Liu Zige’s world mark with a new best time.
