SINGAPORE (AP) \u2014 Summer McIntosh of Canada began her quest for five gold medals in the swimming world championships on Sunday\u2019s opening day in Singapore.
Her first medal race is the 400-metre freestyle.
McIntosh<\/a>, who won three gold medals a year ago at the Paris Olympics, holds the world record in the 400 free \u2014 3 minutes, 54.18 seconds \u2014 and is the favourite in the race Sunday alongside American Katie Ledecky.
Ledecky has the year\u2019s second-best time of 3:56.81. She will face McIntosh again in the 800 metres free later in the meet.
Though she holds the 400 free world record, McIntosh has failed to win gold in the event in the Olympics or previous world championships.
McIntosh will also be after gold in the worlds in the 200- and 400-individual medleys, and the 200 butterfly.
Famed Olympian Michael Phelps<\/a> is the only swimmer to have won five individual gold medals at a world championships.
The men\u2019s 400 free final is also on Sunday\u2019s schedule. Lukas Martens of Germany is the favourite. He set the world record earlier this year of 3:39.96. That topped Paul Biedermann\u2019s record, which had been on the books since 2009 in the super-suit era.
The other two gold-medal events on Sunday are the men\u2019s and women\u2019s 4\u00d7100 freestyle relays.
