McIntosh is aiming to win five gold medals in individual events at the worlds in Singapore, and the first one came Sunday in the 400-meter freestyle on the first of eight days in the pool. Only legendary American Michael Phelps has ever won five individual medals in the worlds. He also did it at the Olympics.

Summer McIntosh continued to take the swimming world by storm on Monday, winning her second gold medal in two days to keep up her bid to make World Aquatics Championship history.
