BUDAPEST — Calgary swimmer Ingrid Wilm picked up her second medal of the short-course world championships Wednesday after finishing third in the women’s 100-metre backstroke.

Wilm teamed with Summer McIntosh and Penny Oleksiak, both from Toronto, and Mary-Sophie Harvey of Trois-Rivières, Que., to win bronze in the women’s 4×100 freestyle relay Tuesday.
