blanks the 4th end. Still leading 2-1, Canada with the hammer in 5.

Gushue double on his last forces Mouat to make a hit for a single. leads 2-1 after 3 ends, Canada with the hammer in 4.

Wait a damn minute… why are the rings yellow/blue compared to the usual red/blue

Psych Sheets for the Canadian Open https://www.swimming.ca/content/uploads/2023/03/2024-Canadian-Swimming-Open-PSYCH-SHEET-v1.0.pdfhttps://www.swimming.ca/content/uploads/2023/03/2024-Canadian-Swimming-Open-PSYCH-SHEET-v1.0.pdf No shortage of talent, although there are some notable absences including Liendo, Ruck, Masse and Kharun. Teen sensation Summer McIntosh will be competing in six events, but only in secondary events (I’m assuming it’s to strengthen her IMs/freestyle/butterfly) with the exception of the 200m individual medley and the 200m freestyle.

Gushue converts on a hit for 2! leads 2-0 after the 2nd end, Scotland with the hammer in 3.

Danielle Collins wins her first ever Masters 1000 title, at the ripe age of 30 years old and in her last ever season on tour (she’s retiring due to endrometriosis), after defeating Elena Rybakina 7-5, 6-3 in the Miami Open final.

My Vancouver Canucks have just clinched a spot in the playoffs!

So that’s pretty much a quota for then. Don’t see any other fencers capable of challenging.

Somethings gotta give, because it also looks like she’s entered to race at the TYR Pro Swim Series in San Antonio at the same time. Hm. https://www.swimcloud.com/results/274521/event/11/PRE/#round-PRE

Still one week to go

Good news, although the problem with CBC streaming is that it’s always delayed by around 20 seconds

No Ruck and Kharun. I’ve also noticed that the Ekk siblings will be there, personally I’m hoping that none of them qualify for the Canadian team for Paris (despite their talent) considering the comments that they’ve made …

I’ve been waiting for this Any idea of where it’ll be live-streamed? Hopefully it isn’t PPV.

There goes our chance.

Heather Bansley/Sophie Bukovec with a quarterfinal finish at the Saquarema Challenge. Very disappointing week for Sam Schachter/Dan Dearing, losing both of their pool play matches.
