Reacting to Summer McIntosh's NEW 200m Fly World Record

But 12 months ago, three years ago, four years ago, five years ago, this world record hasn't been on the cards until Summer McIntosh came around, and it hasn't been on the cards since she went a sub 2:02.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

This was very much an, an unbreakable record for a reason.

I mean, there were summers where I think Zhang Yufan was probably the closest, and she was going 2:03 high, if I remember-

Mm

... from way back in sort of Tokyo sort of time, or even after that and, um, uh, before that, sorry.

Uh, yeah, this was a big world record, and I think I previously said on a podcast probably many years ago now saying, "If anyone's gonna get this record, it's Summer McIntosh," 'cause there's no one else.

There's no one else anywhere close to this world record at all.

You throw maybe-

And there won't be

...

Regan Smith, Lizzie Decker, someone like that, but they're in the 2:03s, 2:04s.

I mean, Summer McIntosh is going two seconds quicker than that.

I mean, she won Canadian Trials in that particular race by nine seconds.

Yeah.

And you had Mary Sophie Harvey in that race.

I mean, she's destroying everyone.

Um-

And I, I genuinely don't think this is the last world record of the week we see.

She swims-

Oh, yeah

... 4:00 AM tonight as we're recording.

There's gonna be a 200 freestyle in there somewhere.

There'll be a 400 freestyle.
