2:04.00 for Summer McIntosh in the women’s 200m butterfly at the TYR Pro Swim Series stop in Westmont.

 

8th fastest time in history, and yet still looked visibly disappointed with the result.

Not to bury the lead but MSH I think has 4 silver medals here and I saw Cole Pratt picked up a medal in the 200m back.

Just watched it, finally. 4th fastest time in history, she owns the top 2 already. And she made it look like she was out for a walk in the park. 

 

Apparently she has said she will do the 800m at the WC this summer. No doubt she's great in that, but I wonder how she'd fair in the 200m backstroke. Her times are elite. Beyond elite. Idk what the schedule looks like, and obviously she and her coaches know best. But I would think a 200m backstroke would be less strain on an already busy programme. 

 

Edit: Listening to the NBC broadcast, they say Summer has announced she is leaving her current training spot after this season, possibly joining Bob Bowman (coach of Phelps and Marchand, along with Reagan Smith).
