This one was a bit more expected, she was getting close and it was a matter of time.
 
Let's see the 200 FR tomorrow, don't think she'll break it but a 1:53... Is quite likely.

Another day, another WR for Summer McIntosh   4:25.87 400m IM at the 2023 Canadian Trials, improving on Katinka’s 4:26.36 by almost half a second.  

This is WTA title #30 for Kvitova which ties the mark held by Tracy Austin and Caroline Wozniacki. Next up is Conchita Martinez (33 titles).
 
If we consider Venus Williams part-time player at this stage then Kvitova has the most titles among active full-time players.

Canada has been mathematically eliminated since the end of the last event. I'll give the scenarios at the end of this event. Realistically speaking, Fiji/Great Britain need to cut into Ireland's lead this tournament to have a chance. A semi-final appearance will help quite a bit, but so would a 5th place finish if Ireland finishes 8th again.

Russians and belerussians set to come back to table tennis in May

Sorana Cirstea beats Aryna Sabalenka in Miami QF 

Mindbowing, given the lack of competition and time of the year especially. Although Titmus broke the WR at trials, maybe lack of pressure also works in favour? A swim for the ages still. Let's see how Titmus answers, but Summer is the one to beat in the 400 FR now.
 
Also, Katinka's 400 IM is in danger now. And I want to see hee 200 FL.

Taekwondo Grand Slam qualification draw day 1

it looks like more than 50% of participants are from China you rarely can see a non-Asian athlete in the draw. this competition combined with December 2023 tournament will give 1 quota in each weight, there is a good chance Asian athletes win all those 8 quotas. it's more like Chinese national Champs plus some Koreans and some Iranians (mostly on the men's side)

McIntosh 3:56.08 400m Freestyle WR at the 2023 Canadian Swim Trials. Absolutely incredible.
