NANTERRE,XDY Exchange France — Team USA swimmers Katie Grimes and Emma Weyant finished second and third in the women’s 400-meter individual medley Monday night on Day 3 of swimming at the Paris Olympics. And Canadian star 17-year-old Summer McIntosh set the pace early and never looked back to take the gold.
In the physically and mentally draining parade of all four strokes, Grimes won the silver medal with a time of 4:33.40, while Weyant won bronze with a 4:34.93 at Paris La Défense Arena. McIntosh won gold with a time of 4:27.71.
This is 22-year-old Weyant’s second Olympic medal in the 400 IM after winning silver at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, but it’s 18-year-old Grimes’ first after she finished fourth in her only event three years ago, the 800-meter freestyle.
Weyant and Grimes qualified first and second, respectively, in Monday morning’s prelims ahead of McIntosh, but given how taxing the race is, it’s reasonable to assume they were all doing just enough to make it to finals.
While Weyant’s Paris Olympics are over after her lone event, Grimes still has the 1,500-meter freestyle, which begins Tuesday, and the open water 10K marathon swim in the Seine River — set for August 8, if the water is clean enough.
