Summer McIntosh reacts as she makes an appearance National Ballet Canada's 'Nutcracker' rendition with her sister in a special attire

Summer McIntosh reacted to her special stint in the National Ballet Canada's rendition of the Nutcracker, alongside her sister Brooke McIntosh. The 18-year-old swimmer came fresh off her successful exploits at the 2024 Paris Olympics and the World Aquatics shirt course Championships.

McIntosh was the youngest member of the Canadian Olympic team for Tokyo 2020, where she finished fourth in the 400m freestyle event. The following year (2022), she clinched two golds in the 200m butterfly and 400m medley at the World Championships, becoming the youngest World Aquatics champion in over a decade. At the 2023 Canadian National trials, McIntosh broke two world records in five days (400m freestyle and 400m individual medley).

McIntosh's best came at the Paris Olympics, as she won golds in the 200m butterfly, 400m butterfly, and 400m medley, while bagging a silver in the 400m freestyle. Months later, she shifted her attention to performing arts, making a special appearance as a Cannon Doll in the National Ballet Canada's rendition of 'Nutcracker'.

The 18-year-old and her pair skater sister, Brooke, flanked a company dancer, who launched a confetti-filled cannon into the audience during the act.

The official Instagram post of National Ballet shared a picture of the McIntosh siblings posing in their play attires. The caption read:

"Honored to host Summer McIntosh, Canada’s most decorated Paris 2024 Olympian & Northern Star Award winner, and her sister, Brooke McIntosh, Pair Figure Skating Champion. Thank you for making a splash as Cannon Dolls in #TheNutcrackerNBC!"

The Olympian shared the post in her story and wrote:

"So much fun," pairing with red heart emojis.
