The World Aquatics Championship: The World Aquatics Championship nearly saw a second World Record being made in two days as Canada’s Summer McIntosh came up with a brilliant performance to get closer than anyone had been before to breaking the record in the Women's 200m butterfly here on Thursday.

McIntosh clocked a sensational 2:01.99, coming close to breaking the World Record of 2:01.81 set by China's Liu Zige way back in 2009.

Since 2010, there have only been four swims inside 2:04, let alone getting to 2:01. McIntosh, 18, has now made that record vulnerable and won her third World title in the event, and her third of these championships.
