Canada's Summer McIntosh cruised in the 200-meter butterfly for her second gold of the Paris Olympics, while American Kate Douglass won gold in the 200-meter breaststroke.
NANTERRE, France -- Canadian teenager Summer McIntosh claimed her second victory of the Paris Olympics with another dominating performance, while Kate Douglass brought home gold for an American team that has endured a whole bunch of runner-up finishes.
Longtime American star Lilly King, competing in her final Olympics, finished last in the final. She made her way over several lane ropes to give a hug to Douglass, one of the world's most versatile swimmers and now a gold medalist. Smith passed Zhang as well, but had no chance of chasing down McIntosh, who has established herself as one of the biggest stars at La Defense Arena.
Douglass claimed the lead on the second of four laps and held off South Africa's Tatjana Smith to win in 2:19.24. Kós rallied on the final lap to pass Greece's Apostolos Christou. The winner finished in 1:54.26, while Christou held on for the silver in 1:54.82. The bronze went to Roman Mityukov of Switzerland in 1:54.85.
