Canadian swimming star Summer McIntosh was out-touched for gold by 0.02 seconds in the women’s 200-metre individual medley at the Pan Pacific Swimming Championships on Saturday.
American swimmer Kate Douglass shattered the 50m freestyle world record an impressive three-tenths of a second earlier on Saturday, clocking 23.19 seconds to secure Pan Pacific Championships gold. The victory marked her second world record of the day in Irvine, California. Douglass left the field trailing by a significant margin, finishing 55-hundredths of a second ahead of world record holder Gretchen Walsh, who claimed silver in 23.74 seconds.
Australian reigning world champion Meg Harris rounded out the podium in third place with a time of 23.89 seconds. Douglass returned just over half an hour later to claim silver in the 200m breaststroke event, finishing just behind Canadian Alexanne LePage in 2:21.73. In men's 50m freestyle, Japan's Tomoyuki Matsushita added a men's medley double with a 200m victory in 1:56.02.
