It might require some logistical finesse from Swimming Canada to get him to swim the individual event at the World Championships in Singapore. (The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimming-canada-announces-28-swimmers-for-worlds-19-for-para-worlds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">team announcement Thursday night<\/a> did not include events, and Sauve was already going to Worlds on the 400 free relay for finishing second in the 100 free.) And it went without the pomp and circumstance usually afforded to a winner.<\/p>\n<p>Sauve said his primary goal in the race was to make a run at Hayden\u2019s record, which he showed could be done equally as well in finals A or B.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cComing into the meet, it was my only goal,\u201d he said of the record. \u201cAfter the 100 two days ago, I had a big confidence boost. Missing the A final this morning was kind of sad, but I think it just got me excited for tonight and made me believe that I can achieve it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The timeline is wild. At 5:45 p.m. local time, Canadian Trials ran the A final of the men\u2019s 200 free, the second event of the sixth night (and first <strong>Summer McIntosh-<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/summer-mcintosh-credits-coach-fred-vergnoux-with-best-meet-of-my-career\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">free session<\/a>, as we are contractually obligated to mention) of competition. Ekk won in 1:48.53, with seven finishers clustered within .75 seconds. Then came the junior final, won by <strong>Francis Brennan<\/strong> in 1:51.25.<\/p>\n<p>While the A finalists were waiting in the wings to collect their medals, up came Sauve, leading a B final that at Canadian Trials has been the catch-all for senior-level stragglers and international swimmers. And the University of Michigan commit from Quebec proceeded to blast the heck out of the field. He won the B final by nearly 5.5 seconds. His 1:46.39 obliterated the previous-best of 1:48.21, as well as the prelims time of 1:50.59.<\/p>\n<p>Sauve downed Hayden&#8217;s hallowed record by .01 seconds. His mark of 1:46.40 dated to the Beijing Olympics, was one of five remaining supersuited individual records on the men\u2019s side. It got a congrats from Hayden on Instagram, who posted that he was happy to see his record \u201cfinally broken after 17 years!\u201d It was achieved by someone who&#8217;ll turn 20 in September.<\/p>\n<p>The finals\u00a0oddity was borne of a bizarre prelims. <strong>Laon Kim<\/strong> led the way in 1:49.60 for first place in the morning. <strong>Lorne Wigginton<\/strong> was eighth in 1:50.29. In ninth was Sauve. That\u2019s eight swimmers separated by .69 seconds, then Sauve another three tenths back for nine in .99.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just went too easy, honestly,\u201d Sauve said. \u201cI thought it was going to be easier than that, but the guys went faster than that. \u2026 Things happen, but it\u2019s a lesson learned. It\u2019s not going to happen again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the final behind Ekk, who fielded questions for the CBC broadcast while Sauve was still in the ready room, was a tie for second place. <strong>Jordi Vilchez<\/strong> booked his first Worlds spot by going 1:48.83, the same time as <strong>Filip Senc-Samardzic.<\/strong> The latter is on the 400 free relay with Sauve.<\/p>\n<p>Wigginton was fourth in 1:49.01, though he could get bumped from the relay for Sauve, and the two-plus-second difference almost demands it.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a bit of redemption for Sauve. As pointed out by <strong>Brittany MacLean Campbell,<\/strong> providing excellent color commentary for CBC Sports this week, Sauve was the one bested by <strong>Jeremy Bagshaw<\/strong> by .04 seconds for the final spot on the 800 free relay <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/on-his-fifth-try-dr-jeremy-bagshaw-will-see-the-olympics-now\/\" target=\"_blank\"
