Kaylee McKeown still rules the Olympic backstroke, beating Regan Smith in women's 100-meter

Steely determination to start the day summer mcintosh mcintosh easily qualifying for the final and she is going to get through her best race, the one where she holds the world record cut to the evening with Canadians pouring into the Paris arena to see the teenager make the country proud. She's the clear favorite in the 400 m medley and these fans know it. We don't really have *** reason not to feel confident. She's on her game. I think she seems with *** lot of grace and I think she has *** lot of confidence. So when she, when she jumps in the pool, I think you just know that she's going to do it. There's your, she already did it on Saturday winning *** silver, but the team swimming sensation is far from done for summer's parents and sister. Every race day brings nervous anticipation. She's just here to represent her country as best as possible humanly possible. So we're super proud of how she manages everything it comes down. This is the best competition in the world and that summer thrives on competing. There is your favorite thrive she did when the moment came and we are under way in the women's 400 m individual Macintosh, smoothly slicing through the water. She is moving ahead lead growing with every stand up until she touched the wall. Golden. You've got *** gold medal from Macintosh Macintosh in 4 27 71. The joy is the gold medal winner. Found her family for *** tight hug. And then another surreal moment. Summers says, oh, Canada blaring from the speakers for her. She says she was also beaming during the race going into that last 100 m after the breaststroke was very, very surreal. Uh I was kind of smiling under the water because I realized that I had enough, *** big enough lead that I was pretty much guaranteed to get that gold medal. The confidence oozes from this young swimmer who's leaving records in her wake. I would describe Summer Macintosh as *** generational talent. You don't see these come along very often, very, very rarely. Summer is one of those. She will be around for quite *** while and she will be on the podium all the time. Such high expectations for Summer Macintosh and she still has *** couple of events to go in Paris. That's right. And she already has her eye on what's next. And that's because her medal tally could still grow. She has two more individual races coming up the 200 m butterfly as well as the 200 individual medley and she could still have the possibility of meddling when the team relay races as well. Summer told me that these games are *** marathon. It's *** nine day stretch for her. And so she's trying not to get on too much of an emotional high, but she does have *** day off tomorrow and she says she'll allow herself *** moment to enjoy the moment in Paris.

Smith, who broke McKeown's world mark with a time of 57.13 seconds at the U.S. trials last month, led at the turn but couldn't hold off the hard-charging Aussie, who defended the title she won in Tokyo three years ago.

"She is an absolutely incredible racer and she knows what to do when it matters," Smith said. "But I'm really proud of myself."

McKeown surged to the front about halfway through the return lap and reached for the wall in 57.33, winning by a relatively comfortable margin over Smith's finish of 57.66.

"The nerves were definitely there but I just reminded myself it's a pool in a different venue and I train every single day of my life," McKeown said.

The U.S. also grabbed the bronze as Katharine Berkoff touched third in 57.98.

Smith reached over the lane rope to congratulate McKeown, but this one had to sting. The 22-year-old Minnesota native appeared to be in top form after her performance and primed to win the first gold medal of her career.

Instead, it was McKeown capturing the third individual gold of her career and fourth gold overall. She swept the backstroke events in Tokyo and also claimed a relay gold.

"It's one race at a time," McKeown said. "I've checked off three boxes so far and there's a few more to go."

Irish win first swimming gold since 1996

Daniel Wiffen won Ireland's first gold medal in swimming since scandal-plagued Michelle Smith finished first in three events at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.

Wiffen surged past Italy's Gregorio Paltrinieri on the final lap, looking as fresh as he did at the beginning of the grueling race.

Wiffen won in 7 minutes, 38.19 seconds, climbing on the lane ropes to hold one finger skyward. Defending Olympic champion Bobby Finke of the U.S. also came on strong in what was essentially a three-man race, also passing Paltrinieri to take the silver in 7:38.75.

The bronze went to the Italian, who posted a time of 7:39.38.

It was another dazzling performance by an Irish swimmer, on the heels of Mona McSharry grabbing a bronze in the 100 breaststroke the previous night.

Until these Olympics, the country's swimming history was essentially confined to Smith, who surprisingly claimed three golds and a bronze in 1996 amid suspicions she was doping. She later received a doping ban that essentially ended her career, but she kept her medals.

Maximillian Giuliani, Flynn Southam, Elijah Winnington and Thomas Neill earned the bronze for Australia in 7:01.98.

Doubling up

French star Léon Marchand had a very busy day, advancing to the final in both the 200 butterfly and 200 breaststroke.

Marchand did a double in the morning preliminaries, then gutted through another back-to-back in the evening semifinals with about 80 minutes between races.

He posted a time of 1:53.50 in the fly semis, trailing only defending Olympic champion and world-record holder Kristóf Milák of Hungary (1.52.72). Marchand was faster than everyone in the breaststroke round, posting a time of 2:08.11 with another raucous crowd at La Defense Arena cheering him on.

Marchand will have to double up one more time in the finals on Wednesday, looking to add to the gold he earned in the 400 individual medley.
