The last person to achieve the same feat? Michael Phelps at the 2008 Beijing Olympics... Not bad company to be in! 🔥👀⁣ •⁣ With a dominant all-around performance Wednesday night, three-time Olympic champion Summer McIntosh became the first swimmer to break a world record in three different individual events at one long-course meet since Michael Phelps at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. 👏⁣ •⁣ McIntosh, still only a teenage mind you at 18 years old, accomplished her record-breaking feats in a span of only 5 days. 🤯⁣ •⁣ "I think world records are made to be broken," McIntosh said, via CBC Sports. "So by the time I leave this sport, I want to make sure that record is as fast as possible.⁣ •⁣ "I think that really keeps me going because I know there's always going to be the next generation of kids growing up, and they're going to be chasing the record, so I've got to give it my best effort to see how long it can stand."⁣ •⁣ The future of swimming is in exceptional hands with McIntosh! 🙌🏊 #th...
