Summer McIntosh shed light on the backdrop behind her disappointed reaction after winning the 200m butterfly finals at the World Aquatics Championships 2025. Notably, this was McIntosh's third 200m butterfly World title in her swimming career.

Speaking in an interview a few weeks after the event, McIntosh stated that breaking the world record (2:01.81) in the event was one of her main objectives, which she couldn't achieve by a small margin. McIntosh further added that this hunger to break the record would motivate her for the upcoming season. She said (via CTV Your Morning, 2:57 onwards);

"I apologize for the foul language, that was just my pure, raw emotion. Going into the final, I knew it was a possibility for me to get the world record, the way I'd been feeling in the water in the month leading up, and that was me and my coach's goal. So, to miss it by just 0.18 or 0.19 was really difficult for me, but it will definitely keep me motivated for next year."

During the interview, Summer McIntosh further remarked that most of the swimmers in the circuit share the same competitive mindset, which also helps each other to get better.
