Kate Douglass, Summer McIntosh win Olympic swimming gold #Olympics #Paris2024 #ParisOlympics

Canadian teenager Summer McIntosh claimed her second victory of the Paris Olympics with another dominating performance, while Kate Douglass brought home gold for an American team that has endured a whole bunch of runner-up finishes.

McIntosh romped to victory in the 200-meter butterfly Thursday night, dealing American Regan Smith a familiar silver-medal finish.

But Douglass put the U.S. on the top of the podium in the 200 breaststroke, a race that essentially served as a changing of the guard. Longtime American star Lilly King, competing in her final Olympics, finished last in the final. She made her way over several lane ropes to give a hug to Douglass, one of the world's most versatile swimmers and now a gold medalist.
