Best of Team Canada Olympic swimmer Summer McIntosh in images
There was a star in the Swimming World Championships and she comes from a country more known for a sport played on frozen water than in a swimming pool. Canada's Summer McIntosh won four gold medals at the event and finished third in her fifth. McIntosh became the second female swimmer to win four individual golds at a single worlds — taking the 400m freestyle, 200m IM 400 IM and 200m butterfly. She took bronze in the 800m free 'I think it was very obvious that my goal was five golds,' McIntosh, who painted five of her fingernails gold before the meet, said, according to World Aquatics. 'Time just didn't matter. I just wanted to get my hand on the wall the first five times. I fell short of that, but I think it's just going to keep me hungry ... Even if I were to get five golds, I would still want more.'

Summer McIntosh wins fourth gold of the World Aquatics Championships
Summer McIntosh won her fourth gold medal of the World Aquatics Championships in Singapore with a dominant performance in the 400-meter individual medley. The Canadian teenager finished in 4:25.78 to set a new championship record and cap off a near-perfect meet with five medals across her events. American superstar Katie Ledecky is the only other woman to win as many golds at a single World Championships, while only Sweden's Sarah Sjöström has matched McIntosh's tally of five medals. With her bronze medal in the 800-meter freestyle on Saturday, McIntosh fell just short of matching Michael Phelps' record of five gold medals at a single World Championships. 'Overall, I'm happy with this World Championships,' McIntosh told CBC News. 'I have to be, four golds is something that I've never achieved at the world stage before. 'I broke my kind of curse of three – everything comes in threes but now everything comes in fours, and hopefully, I can push for everything to come in fives.' In Sunday's 400-meter individual medley, the 18-year-old finished more than seven seconds clear of Australia's Jenna Forrester and Japan's Mio Narita, who tied for silver with a time of 4:33.26. China's 12-year-old Yu Zidi, who previously became the youngest medalist at the World Championships, was half a second outside the medals in fourth. McIntosh now has 13 medals from the World Championships, including eight golds. In Singapore, she also took victories in the 400m freestyle, the 200m butterfly, and the 200m medley. In the men's 400m medley, France's Léon Marchand won his second gold medal of the championships by completing a medley double. His winning time of 4:04.73 saw him finish ahead of Japan's Tomoyuki Matsushita and Russian Ilia Borodin in second and third respectively, claiming his seventh career gold at the World Championships.
