PARIS (Reuters) - Canada declared Summer time in the Paris Olympic pool on Monday and the country's 17-year-old sensation Summer McIntosh made it look easy while others celebrated medals won by barely a fingertip.

The world record holder blew away her four-stroke rivals to win the women's 400 metres individual medley (IM) gold and add a second medal to her haul after Sunday's silver in the 400 freestyle.
