Summer McIntosh Schedule Madness: What Events Will The Newest ... (Swimming World Magazine)

Summer McIntosh will have big decisions to make on her event lineup at the 2023 World Championships in Fukuoka and 2024 Olympics in Paris.

It would be foolish and naïve to suggest that McIntosh is now a favorite to win four individual gold medals, but because of her world-record success this week plus her skyrocketing improvement, it’s worth remembering this information as she speeds toward Paris and a chance at more stunning swimming. She will surely be fatigued by that point in the schedule, but she could be riding the momentum of an already-successful Olympics with her main events plus two relays already done. McIntosh could also opt to pass on the individual 200 free, as she did at the 2022 World Championships, but an attempt at swimming that event fits far better with the World Championships program. Given that McIntosh has generally played it conservative with her racing schedule at these big meets (a notable difference from her predecessor as 400 IM world-record holder, Katinka Hosszu), it would make sense for her to drop one of the two races for this year, and after her world record in the 400 free, the guess is that she would skip the 200 IM. - 200 Freestyle Final [world-record holder](https://www.swimmingworldmagazine.com/news/summer-mcintosh-excels-beyond-all-expectations-on-way-to-world-record/) in [multiple events](https://www.swimmingworldmagazine.com/news/two-world-records-in-one-meet-summer-mcintosh-double-is-first-in-four-years/).
