She swam the race in 4:23.65 seconds, breaking the world record of 4:24.38 that she set at the Olympic trials in Toronto last May. It's the third time McIntosh has set a world record at this year's Canadian trials. She posted a new mark in the 200m individual medley on Monday and in the 400m freestyle on Saturday. Making history hasn't been on the teenage swimming sensation's mind as she competed this week, though. 'During the meet I don't really like to think about it,' McIntosh said. 'I'll celebrate and then kind of process it and focus on the next race. 'I know I can go faster. ' Essential reading for hockey fans who eat, sleep, Canucks, repeat.

McIntosh also broke her own Canadian records in the 800m freestyle on Sunday, finishing in 8:05.07 — nearly five seconds faster than her previous time — and in the 200m butterfly on Tuesday. 'I think it's more fun chasing records that you haven't broken yet,' McIntosh said. 'It's immensely easier to break your own, because you kind of have to look at it as just going your personal best time.' The two-time Olympian captured three golds and one silver at the Paris Olympics last summer. She is the first Canadian ever to take three golds at a single Games. McIntosh wasn't the only swimmer to set a record on Wednesday. Ethan Ekk posted a new mark in the 200m men's backstroke, finishing in 1:56.54. He was .20 seconds off the previous record Blake Tierney notched at the Olympic trials last May. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Tierney finished second Wednesday with a time of 1:57.04. Ekk, 18, also won the 400m freestyle earlier in the week. Two Canadian para-swimming records also fell on Wednesday. Nicholas Bennett won the multi-class 200m individual medley with a time of 2:06.36, just .39 behind his SM14 world record. 'With that race now, when we get a little bit more endurance under our belt, we'll be able to challenge my world record again,' Bennett said. Reid Maxwell finished second in 2:30.12, to edge his SM8 Canadian record. Tyson Jacob swam a SM5 Canadian record time of 3:33.80.

FILE - Summer McIntosh of Canada reacts after competing in the Women's 200m Butterfly Heats on day three of the World Short Course Swimming Championships in Budapest, Hungary, Thursday, Dec. 12, 2024. (AP Photo/Denes Erdos, file) VICTORIA, Canada (AP) — Canadian teen Summer McIntosh set her second world record in three days at the Canadian swimming trials on Monday night. McIntosh swam the 200-meter individual medley in 2 minutes 5.7 seconds, breaking the previous record of 2:06.12 set by Hungary great Katinka Hosszu in 2015. Advertisement 'I've been knocking on the door on this one. I've just tried to chip away, chip away at it. To finally do it, it's kind of like, wow, I've finally got that done,' McIntosh said. The 18-year-old Toronto native had already broken the world best mark in the 400 freestyle on Saturday, completing the race in 3:54.18, shaving more than a second off the old record of 3:55.38 set by Ariarne Titmus of Australia. McIntosh broke her own Canadian record in the 800 freestyle on Sunday, when her time of 8:05.07 was just 0.95 of a second off the world record set by Katie Ledecky in May. 'I'm really trying to take it one race at a time,' McIntosh said. 'Really kind of cruising the heats and then coming to every final super locked in and focused.' Advertisement McIntosh won three gold medals at the Paris Olympics last year, winning her three individual events of the 400 and 200 individual medleys and the 200 butterfly. She also won silver in the 400 free. ___ AP sports:
