Summer McIntosh (Canada) wins gold in the women's 400m individual medley at Commonwealth Games 2026 (Glasgow, approx. July 26, 2026)

Summer McIntosh is the Olympic champion (Paris 2024) and holds the Commonwealth record in the 400m IM with 4:23.65. No comparable rivals exist in the Commonwealth field — the next-fastest entrants are approximately 6–8 seconds behind her entry time. Australia fields strong freestyle swimmers but has no direct 400m IM rival at McIntosh's level. Swimming runs July 24–29; the women's 400m IM final is expected on July 25 or 26.
