Canada’s McIntosh is becoming one of the stories of the Games, with the teenager tipped to break numerous records in her career.<\/p>\n
She has already started in Paris, touching home in the 200m individual medley in an Olympic record 2:05.56 to ensure a fourth medal at her debut Games.<\/p>\n
“For sure it was painful. Winning gets rid of all the pain,” she told the BBC.<\/p>\n
“I was screaming at myself under water a few times because I could tell that I was behind.<\/p>\n
“I knew that I just had to keep going and I just had to push through that wall.”<\/p>\n
She previously took gold in the 200m butterfly and 400m medley, along with silver in the 400m freestyle.<\/p>\n
Americans Kate Douglass and Alex Walsh won silver and bronze respectively, before Walsh was disqualified before she had even left the pool for an illegal turn from backstroke into breaststroke.<\/p>\n
That meant Australia’s Kaylee McKeown was upgraded to bronze.<\/p>\n
McKeown later joined her team-mates for the mixed relay, with the Australians securing bronze.<\/p>\n
The United States won gold in 3:37.43 and China silver, but Britain’s quartet of Kathleen Dawson, James Wilby, Duncan Scott and Anna Hopkin struggled from the off and finished well out of the medals.<\/p>\n
France, with Leon Marchand swimming the second leg, finished fourth – the first time the host nation’s poster boy has appeared in a final in Paris and not won a medal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
