Canada's McIntosh, Harvey win silver medals to wrap up short course swim worlds
McIntosh also named World Aquatics female swimmer of the year
Canada's Summer McIntosh wrapped up her record-breaking performance at the world short course swim championships with a silver medal in the women's 200-metre backstroke on Sunday in Budapest, Hungary.
McIntosh, 18, finished the race in a time of one minute 59.56 seconds, which is both a Canadian and world junior record.
Regan Smith of the United States needed a new world-record time of 1:58.04 to hold off her Canadian counterpart. Neutral athlete Anastasiya Shkurdai (2:00.56) rounded out the podium in third place.

Despite notching a new national record time, McIntosh said she wasn't satisfied with her performance.
"I'm kind of disappointed," she told CBC Sports reporter Devin Heroux. "I really wanted to get gold for Canada tonight, but this is a great motivator the next time I'm training and I'm hurting and I just remember what it's like to get silver, so it keeps me pushing forward."
McIntosh, who was named World Aquatics female swimmer of the year on Sunday, ends her first short course worlds appearance with three world records, three golds, one silver medal and one bronze.

"This week's been overall great, [and] probably one of the best swim meets of my life, even though [the 200m backstroke final] wasn't one of my best races, I should still be happy with it," McIntosh said.

"I had some confidence going into this race just because in the relays, I surprised myself getting some speed in the 50 and the 100 free. I knew with my medal in the 400 free that I could have the comeback, I just needed to trust."
Earlier in the day, the 25-year-old Harvey was named the short course breakout female swimmer of the year.
"It's been a crazy year and I've told you how much I want to end a good note, and honestly I couldn't be happier," Harvey said.
