Summer McIntosh won the women’s 200 IM on night 8 in Paris, continuing the streak in which the women’s 200 and 400 IM have had the same gold medalist in both events. McIntosh already won the 400 IM this week and followed that up with the 200 IM today.
The last time the 200 IM and 400 IM featured different winners on the women’s side was in 1992 when Lin Li of China won the 200 IM and Krisztina Egerszegi of Hungary won the 400 IM. Lin notably won silver in the 400 IM that year, just 0.19 seconds off of gold.

Claudia Kolb in 1968, not Knob.
Just goes to show how top heavy and depth lacking women’s swimming is atm
MICHELLE SMITH CHEATER
Swimswam: Ithink you are missing a “not” in the article title.
I feel like Yana Klochkova is often left out of “greatest….” conversations but for her to double up in 2000 and 2004 is pretty damn impressive especially since 2000 was when semifinals began for the 200 IM.
So who were the silver medal winners in 96 and were they the same….cause…..ummmmm
Not the same. Marianne Limpert from Canada was the silver medallist in the 200 IM but that was her only medal.
I mean yeah same thing usually happens with the men too, or at least they get close to it.
Marchand, Phelps, Tom Dolan, Tomas Darnyi, Alex Baumann, Gunnar Larsson… in fact the only times it hasn’t happen was in 2016 and 2012 when Phelps won the 200 IM but not the 400 IM.
@Steve Nolan what are your thoughts on this
Didn’t happen last Olympics either, Wang won the 200 and Kalisz the 400. Neither made the final in the opposite distance
Damn that’s right
Tom Dolan never won the 200 IM.
1996: Dolan won the 4 IM, Attila Czene won the 2 IM and Dolan was 7th
2000: Dolan won the 4 IM, Massimiliano Rosolino won the 2 IM (though he later tested positive for hGH) and Dolan got silver
What am I smoking lol. I guess I saw the double gold on his page and assumed it was 400/200 without actually reading it
and 2020, Kalisz/Wang
Imma predict it happens again in LA
