Overview

Gold for Reece Howden during the second race day of the Innichen WC. Otherwise a pretty disappointing outing for the Canadian team… with no medals on the women’s side and only one on the men’s side

Brendan McKay takes silver and Cassie Sharpe bronze at the copper mountain halfpipe!

Silver for Mikael Kingsbury in moguls at the Bakuriani WC!

While the short course world championships were going on, the Ontario Junior International meet was also taking place (also in a 25m pool). 12 year old Shima Taghavi broke 4 national age group records including Summer McIntosh's 200m IM record as well as all the breakstroke events. She even won the 200m breaststroke outright against other 16 and 17 year olds. Meanwhile, 16 year old Madison Kryger also had a big meet winning 6 out of 6 events. Notably, if we compared the times from the world championships, her time in the 100m backstroke would have placed her 13th overall in prelims and her 200m freestyle time would have ranked 15th overall. The most impressive swim might have been the 200m backstroke which would have qualified her for the World Championship final in 8th and was faster than Regan Rathwell's time. 12 year old Huini Xu also broke the national age group record in the 200m freestyle and had some other impressive swims.

Best result ever

So I guess this is what it feels like to be a fan of the Norwegian mens cross country skiing team or German bobsleigh team

Podium sweep in women’s ski cross at the Arosa WC with Thompson-Sherret-Schmidt, and Howden also won gold in men’s ski cross for a four medal performance!

Bronze for the men’s 3x3 team and gold for the women’s 3x3 team at the FIBA 3x3 AmeriCup! B-squad for the men, and a mainly A-squad for the women, with Grant-Allen instead of Michelle Plouffe.

She went an in season 2:06.81 in LCM (not the same, but McIntosh is also good at SCM..) back in December, and that’s despite rarely racing it, so I definitely knew she had what it takes. Honestly, with how good McIntosh is I thought she might beat Regan, but I’m still happy with the silver.

Obviously Reagan Smith is in another league in this event, but what an impressive International debut for Summer in that distance.

and a silver in the 200m freestyle for MSH! So happy for her. Also a Canadian record.

Silver for Summer in the 200m backstroke! Broke Masse's Canadian record in the process.

Silver for Florence Brunelle in the women’s 500m!

Gold for Dandjinou in the 1000m Also bronze earlier in the mixed relay

So we are up to 13 medals. We need 2 medals tomorrow to tie the record of 15 medals won at the 2021 championships and 3 to break it.

Stephen Maar retires from the men’s national team https://www.instagram.com/p/DDkRU4HMsED/?igsh=eG02MXJuOTcxMmFn

Jankovic broke the Canadian Record twice in one day which had stood since 2003. And a bronze for the mixed 4x100m medley relay.

Gold and World Record #3 for Summer!

Arthur M is now competing in the 81kg. The same as FGD (who competed in the 90 kg earlier this year), but switched back to 81 recently. So not sure what the plan is.

Men’s 5000m relay fails to advance to the A final

Gold for our women’s 3000m relay at the ISU Seoul WC!

And Dubois and Pierre-Gilles take gold and silver in the 500m

Gold and silver for Steven Dubois and Jordan Pierre-Gilles in the men’s 500m at the ISU Seoul WC!

Danae Blais wins silver in the women’s 1000m at the ISU Seoul WC! Worth noting, that the winner Gilli got a home-crowd ADV in the quarterfinals, so her win doesn’t really count in my books.

William Dandjinou back on top as he wins gold at the ISU Seoul WC! Edit: Dubois who finished in 2nd got a PEN… no medal for him
