Swimming

On the last day of competition in the swimming pool, Canada won five more medals to bring the total earned by the swimming team to 20.

Kylie Masse won her eighth career Commonwealth Games medal as she claimed gold in the 50m backstroke while setting a Commonwealth Games record of 27.31 seconds. One of the most anticipated showdowns of the Games came in the women’s 400m freestyle where reigning world silver medallist Summer McIntosh was facing reigning Olympic champion Ariarne Titmus of Australia, who had chosen not to compete at the recent world championships. Titmus jumped out to the early lead and held it all the way to the finish, touching the wall in a Commonwealth Games record time of 3:58.06. McIntosh came in for the silver, 1.26 seconds back (3:59.32), going faster than she had at the world championships to break her own Canadian record. Ella Jansen placed seventh in the final.

About 20 minutes later, McIntosh was back on the pool deck for the final of the women’s 4x100m medley relay. She swam the freestyle anchor leg, following Masse (backstroke), Sophie Angus (breaststroke), and Maggie Mac Neil (butterfly) into the water. Canada won the silver medal in 3:56.59, finishing 2.15 seconds behind Australia. That gave Masse a ninth career Commonwealth Games medal. She and Mac Neil will head home from Birmingham with five medals apiece, while McIntosh has six to lead all Canadian athletes at this point.
