Katie Ledecky's 9-Year Winning Streak in USA Snapped by Canadian Summer McIntosh

For the first time in nine years, superstar swimmer Katie Ledecky lost a race in her home country of the United States on Friday.

According to Reuters (h/t ESPN), 16-year-old Canadian Summer McIntosh won the 200-meter freestyle at a Pro Series swim meet in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with a time of one minute, 54.13 seconds, finishing 0.83 seconds ahead of Ledecky.

The loss was Ledecky's first in a domestic freestyle long course final of 200 meters or longer since she fell to fellow American Allison Schmitt back in 2014 when Ledecky was 16 years of age.
