I don't know where else to post this but Canada has been upgraded to a bronze medal in the 4x200m freestyle relay at Tokyo 2020. China got DQ'd over a doping violation.
 
This brings the total medal count to 25 and Summer McIntosh now has an Olympic medal

Silver for Caeli McKay/Kate Miller in women’s 10m synchro at the Xi’an Diving WC, with a score of 296.10. Up 8.76 points on their Doha score, good sign heading into Paris. Some of the big pairings are absent however, such as Spendolini-Siriex/Toulson and Jin-Mi/Mi-Rae. 

Tammara Thibeault with an excellent 5-0 win over Li Qian at the World Boxing Cup in Pueblo, Colorado, United States! Qian is a Rio 2016 bronze medalist, and a Tokyo 2020 silver medalist. She also won bronze at the 2023 World Championships, and gold at the 2022 Asian Games. 

Both have been nominated to Canada’s Olympic team.

Some good news! JT's government finally doing something right for sport.

Would have won a medal at the last Olympics and each World Championships since 2020.

Summer McIntosh 2:08.19 in the women’s 200m individual medley!

New outdoor PB for Christopher Morales-Williams in men’s 400m at the Tom Jones Memorial, in 44.91!

Michelle Li and Adam Dong/Nyl Yakura have officially qualified for Paris in women’s singles and men’s doubles respectively through the Olympic Rankings!

Quotas in men’s and women’s team sprint in track cycling through the Olympic Rankings!

will have a full track cycling team!

If Pickrem swam that time in her leg of the relay in Tokyo, Canada would have gotten gold, OR and only 0.7 away from WR. Heck, that split gives her 4th in the 100m final at Tokyo. Amazing time in the middle of a 400 IM. 

Great split for Pickrem during the breaststroke leg however. 1:05.61!

57.19 would be an excellent time for a 17 year old who specializes in the 100m butterfly
 
let alone a 17 year old in which this is their 8th or 9th best event 

Summer Mcintosh with a 57.19 in the womens 100 butterfly, beating Maggie MacNeil

Alex Axon with a PB in the 400m, less than 3 seconds away from the Olympic standard

Jessica Guo wins gold at the world junior fencing championships in the individual foil 

Last bit of spam for now. 
 
Last Sunday, Evan Dunfee placed 2nd in men’s 20km at the Podebrady Race Walking meet, recording a time of 1:18.41! 37 seconds outside of his PB which was set at last years World Championships, so he’s looking to be in fine form at the moment. 

Men’s team through to the gold medal match at the Pan American Championships and are just one win away from an Olympic quota! Should we win against Colombia on Sunday (far from a given of course) it would be the first time we’ve had a team in archery since Beijing 2008. 

Oleksiak went 54.67 as well. Very good result for her.

Very excited to see the 100m freestyle final for women later today. Harvey seems to be on a roll right now and I wonder if she can get another PB.
