It's like comparing apples to apples --- Summer McIntosh, and some are not.

[@CBCSports]

This is the kind of comment that gets pinned to the top, WELL DONE!

[@user-tm7me1ef9l]

Thanks, CBC! I'm honored!

[@watsonaqua4560]

Techique is perfection That is poetry in motion. Props to the lead commentator.

[@defman9414]

yes... outstanding swimming commentary throughout the race.

[@pantherablaxxx9930]

She’s clearly in a league of her own! Others swimmers should be scared of her. Bravo Summer! Can’t wait to see you getting your first Olympic gold medal! 🥇

[@jacquelinerussell8530]

Other swimmers scared of her. You obviously have no idea what competitive swimming is all about translation CLUELESS

[@dtv2031]

She's so smooth in the water. Looks effortless.

[@gustaaf1892]

This is one gold medal you Canadians can bank on in Paris. No one will get close to her.

[@jacquelinerussell8530]

How many times have i heard this before and it did not come to fuition I'm sixty two and have been watching the Olympics since I was ten years old🙄

[@gustaaf1892]

@@jacquelinerussell8530 I have also been watching the Olympics for over half a century and some gold medals are nailed on. The 400IM isn't an event in which champions come from nowhere because of the skillset required to compete and McIntosh is a long way ahead of any competitors.

[@jacquelinerussell8530]

If you like it, I love, I'm thinking you are our neighbors to the North👍I truly hope your swimmer lives up to the hype. However, I guess you know who I will be rooting for USA all the way😊👍

[@ccbgaming6994]

@jacquelinerussell8530 McIntosh is by far the favorite. Doesn’t matter who you are rooting for, if you don’t expect McIntosh to win, you’re delusional.

[@steve-from-toronto]

Yup, no one is anywhere close to Summer’s time. It might be one of the biggest margins of victory in the pool during the whole Olympics.

She's a beast, an amazing swimmer. But she'll have strong opposition in 400 m freestyle in Ariarne Titmus. It will be a one-race spectacle between the two. Canada vs Australia!

Good job CBC:not having a graphic showing the splits how fast she was beating the time by. Or showing how much she beat it by.

Summer lives and trains in Florida. So I guess the Americans can claim some credit for her success as well.

[@aprodutube]

@@lauraarmstrong3168 She now has access to the best training facilities in the world and is training with one of the best clubs in the country and Coach Arckey will have her ready for Paris. She's an honorary American now.

[@alexbronynerfman]

Summer McIntosh with her world record. she’s closer to the Olympic dream. This is the gold medal can bank on it in Paris. No one will get closer to her.

[@steph14292]

I believe that after Paris the name Summer McIntosh will be talked about like some one named Phelps. 🇨🇦💪

[@realistic_delinquent]

I don’t think she’s getting 8 world records, nor taking a 4-peat in a single event. I’m saying this as a Canadian: There will be women attending these Paris games that deserve FAR more praise.

[@drewcanton235]

How dya like thems apples 🍎 That was bad... 😁 Congratulations Summer, you swam like a shark!!! 🦈🇨🇦

she's in another level. She must compete with other fish 🙂

7 golds coming 4 Summer in Paris 2024 Olympics

[@Mythos131]

Let's not get carried away

[@diamonddog13]

Her teammates aren't strong enough to win gold in the relays

[@Ineddiblehulk]

No. And setting such pointlessly unrealistic expectations will make whatever she does - which will be incredible- seem like a disappointment. She has massive competition in everything except this event - it’s possible she comes away with ‘only’ one gold.

[@diamonddog13]

@Ineddiblehulk I'd be very surprised if she didn't win the 200 fly and mildly surprised if she didn't win the 200 IM. But hopefully she'll swim loose and be at her best. I really wish we had more depth so she could skip the relays entirely to be fresh in the individual events.

[@gustaaf1892]

List the events please, otherwise it is just a BS statement.

[@ccbgaming6994]

@lanceb. What’s #1?

[@ihnasbackup]

she literally just dropped a second off her old time.. not saying that's not an accomplishment but it's not THAT much off her original time to accuse her of doping. her mom was literally an olympian as well and she's a naturally skilled swimmer.

[@richardkeiser2337]

Hopefully CBC can hire Rowdy Gaines to commentate its future Canadian swimming events. These guys were b, a, d, BAD!

[@jdolew]

you're just wrong. The main expert commentator has been doing this for years and knows his stuff. He spoke quickly (as needed) and knowledgeably through the whole race.

[@angeldelabra1438]

Is it just me or do these commentators suck?💀

dead wrong

[@giobbeeeeeeeeeeeee]

Il cronometro ha sentenziato! io non lo so se sia proprio così forte, qui non credo siano in campo internazionale ma nazionale, giusto? (cosa sono? i trials?) Ma è certo che è arrivata quasi 15 secondi prima della seconda classificata! E queste cose le facevano solo Phelps e pochissimi altri, due o tre tra donne e uomini! Ma è soprattutto la facilità di nuotata a sbalordire: non credo di aver mai visto un delfino, Butterfly, tanto fluido, nuotato con assurda facilità e naturalezza, il bacino non fa uno schizzo, segue sinuoso le spalle, non sembra umana, ma davvero un tursiope, splendida!; un dorso filante e senza sforzo apparente; una rana, Breaststroke, praticamente senza fare onda! Si infila sott'acqua e ne esce due metri avanti! Lo stile libero forse resta la frazione in cui si potrebbe pensare di attaccarla... ma da quello che ho visto qui, almeno che non incappi in qualche infortunio o peggio, risulti dopata, ( e di certo mi auguro di no perché è dolcissima e umile), credo sia improbabile che da qui a 3 mesi? 2 mesi e mezzo? ...qualcuno possa tenerle testa fino alla frazione a stile freeStyle: la facilità con cui nuota la specialità... farebbe annichilire anche la signora di ferro, Katinka Ostzu, per anni al vertice della distanza.
