Olympic swim stars Summer McIntosh and Leon Marchand closed out the US Open in Austin, Texas, with dominant victories in the 200m butterfly on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Canada’s McIntosh, the reigning Olympic and world champion, clocked 2min 02.62sec to win the women’s 200m fly, posting the fourth-fastest time ever to beat American Regan Smith by 4.27sec.<\/p>\n
France’s Marchand, who counted the 200m fly among his four gold medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics, won the men’s 200m fly in 1:52.57 with Canadian Ilya Kharun — bronze medalist in Paris — second in 1:55.71 and Hungarian Hubert Kos third in 1:56.01.<\/p>\n
Smith and Kos — who trains in Austin with McIntosh and Marchand under former Michael Phelps coach Bob Bowman — both made their fly podiums after 200m backstroke victories.<\/p>\n
Smith won the 200m back in 2:05.52, with Leah Shackley a distant second in 2:07.21.<\/p>\n
Kos, the Olympic and world champion, won the men’s 200m back in 1:54.21 — four seconds in front of runner-up Blake Tierney.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Olympic swim stars Summer McIntosh and Leon Marchand closed out the US Open in Austin, Texas, with dominant…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":78946,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[21106,132,134,133],"class_list":["post-78945","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-austin","tag-afp","tag-austin","tag-austin-headlines","tag-austin-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78945","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78945"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78945\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/78946"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78945"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78945"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78945"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
