Summer McIntosh expressed pride in her sister as she geared up for her next adventure. After her time with figure skating partner Marco Zandron in the 2024-25 season, they ended their partnership. The McIntosh sisters have been tasting massive success in their individual sporting realms, the older in pair skating and the younger in swimming.

Summer McIntosh competed in her second Olympics in Paris and won three golds and one silver medal. Her efforts made her the first Canadian woman to win three individual gold medals, and she is now tied with Penny Oleksiak for most medals won at a single Summer Olympic Games (by a Canadian woman) . The 18-year-old was also the co-flagbearer of her nation at the closing ceremony of the quadrennial event.

McIntosh's following stint at the Short Course World Championships earned her several podiums and laurels. Two months into 2025, she won an 800m freestyle event in a National record time of 8:09.86, the second-fastest in history (by a woman).
