Huge respect to her family/mom for this
Her pop makes 3 million a year
@@Bruh-mp9xo may i ask for a source?
@@Bruh-mp9xoHaving access to swimming facilities when young is necessary and in wealthy countries many millions are fortunate enough to get that opportunity (from poor families too). However, daily 4:15am swim + gruelling training etc takes enormous grit + determination, day-day, year-year. Probably harder to be motivated if you are living a cushy lifestyle than if you are in a crappy home being sponsored. To quote Former Heavyweight Boxer Marvellous Marvin Hagler 'It's tough to get out of bed to do roadwork at 5am when you're sleeping in satin sheets'.
Awesome job Summer and family, Canada is very proud of you.
Well on behalf of Canada I say thanks Brent for 3 gold medals and a silver, and way to go Summer! Awesome job. Canada is so proud of you.
@@Steve0904 that's right... And she's only just begun! Let's see how many medals she accumulates in the next 12 years or so... (hoping I don't jinx it!)
She may surpass the great Katie Ledecky!
Thank you for taking care of these wonderful young people. It is a pleasure to see such happy, healthy, and humble people. As a Canadian, I am grateful, and as a human being, I am thankful to see people striving humbly for excellence . To me, this is the good side of humanity. We see so much arrogance, conflict and cruelty that watching everyone here brings joy to my eyes. If only our planet's children could be cared for and nurtured like those we see in this video, what a paradise we could create. Thanks for being so good to young people. Our children are our future.
I wish they would have elite swimming programs in Canada. That way, when our athletes win, it's not because they went to the States.
Summer has amazing talent. Thank you for working so hard to bring the glory to our country! We love you!
@@elizabethng2350 very true, Elizabeth... But I predict she'll inspire a new generation of Canadian swimmers. Then you may get the elite programme you want! Let's hope...
@@handyvickers yes, with time, anything could happen! :)
Summer is a real phenom. Her races are amazing to watch.
From across the pond, Summer, I'm rooting for you in Paris this year! Go girl!
She won 4 medals!!
@@doomcarry69 yeah!! She's brilliant... And next Olympics in LA she'll be even better!
Who’s here after the GOLD MEDAL 🥇
@@coolkid4138 I hope so
She’s underage 😂
The coach seems like such a nice guy
His name is Brent Arckey, and yes, he is a wonderful coach, talented, humble, and dedicated to his swimmers.
Go Summer go!
Amazing athlete!!!
Canada is very proud of you. canda flag
I think she is fantastic and still has even more potential. One could say doing both 200s and 400s free/IM is the full diversity line up. The only swimmers that come to mind for me who were able to do both mid-distance free and IM at the world stage are Phelps, Lochte, Thorpe, and (in the case of short-course recently at NCAAs) Marchand. And even Phelps, Lochte, and Thorpe would only do three out of those four events. That being said, where are McIntosh's effective underwaters, and why does a swimmer with this array of skills preform a basic open turn from back to breast instead of the quicker crossover? If she masters her turns and dolphin kick (the fifth stroke) she will be totally unstoppable, even against the likes of Titmus and Ledecky in the 400. This can be done if she is willing to deal with the stress and the pain. But no matter what, I'm rooting for this young woman. Records and reaching outstanding achievements that seemed impossible beforehand are what keep sports interesting.
SCY =/= LCM. including Marchand in that group because he swam on an 800 free relay at ncaas is silly
I don't know anyone who thinks 200 free in SCY is nearly as challenging as the 200 free in LCM. Long course is a different beast. That's kind of a given... That's why I put it in parenthesis lol. It's all just for the love and hype of the sport :)
Finally she beat Ledecky in the 400 free and won silver. Also her performance in the 200 IM was incredible.
God bless her and family
Canada loves Summer because she works hard and is very nice.
you see them in the competitions and they look more mature. In actual fact these are all just kids trying there best to get better. Lets just hope they havent skipped there childhood just for a few moments of glory.
Who's here after Summer's 3 Gold Medals & 1 Silver Medal from France? 🖐
This video has certainly aged well. Congrats to Summer and the coaching staff!
Respect for not letting this country’s controlling covid policies not stop her. Good for you summer!!!
Great job summer , great parents and coaches. Good job moving south 😂😂
This aged well. Genuinely :)
What I wonder in the world of sports is 1) Her Mom was an Olympian? (interesting when any Olympians had a parent/s that were previous (makes me think "genes" is huge factor in that alone? 2) When athletes go to another country and train or have coaches etc? (eg this girl is "Canadian" but learns and trains etc with USA coaches in Florida? (So who are the coaches cheering for race days? her or other Americans?
The thing isnt genetics, its the fast that the parent knows what is needed to get there. All the time, effort and money.
Its not a normal life and if the parent don’t share the wish for their kid to become an olimpian, it wont happen.
Many parents think it’s a bad thing to push their kids.
Michael Phelps's coach Bob Bowman trained Leon Marchard in the three, four years before the Olympics. I guess, therefore, coaches do what they do, ie bring out the highest potential in athletes, regardless of nationality. That's why MP is a true champion - he celebrates excellence in the world of swimming, even if it means that his records get broken. Summer's training is no walk in the park. She starts early and it's tough work. MP swam during his birthday, holidays, weekends. If a coach is able to find an athlete who is that determined, then nationality is not an issue. Plus, elite swim clubs charge a lot to train athletes.
Yes, genetics certainly has something to do with good athleticism; it runs in their blood (just look at Summer, Leon, etc).
Her coach cheers for Summer, the athlete who he trained, because she's gotten on the podium with his training. He's not cheering for her as a Canadian.
Swimming in the US is by far the most elite in the world, probably even ahead of the Aussies.
@@elizabethng2350 Im saying she is "Canadian" and he(the coach now) in Florida Im assuming is American---(does he in his mind want "American swimmers to win" (deep inside) its like this in so many sports people training in other countries--so many American males come to Canada to train play hockey(so do the Canadian coaches deep in side want them to beat Canadian guys? I doubt it or maybe they do or maybe the coaches in this world dont give ONE flying f...as long as they get the "$$$$"-----hm I doubt in total U.S swimming beats Australia
I bet the balls kept on rolling
she is the phenom period
당신은 언제 웃나요? 수영할때는 웃지 않나요? 즐겁지 않은 수영인가요? 1등은 못해도 웃는 수영 선수가 되기를 바래봅니다.
Dad?
And yet she swims for Canada
70% of medal winners actually live and train in the US and yet claim another country for medal count
Relax. She grew up in, attended the Olympics, and won 2 world championship medals while training in Canada before she ever moved to Sarasota. At the time of the video, she just got there. Not exactly an example of a swimmer who's winning medals for other countries. US doesn't have a claim on her at all.
America is a great place to bring all these athletes together. Makes everyone better.
