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. 

Solid results in the 200 free. Obviously Summer is a beast but I was definitely more excited about MSH going 1:56.76. 1:58s from Jansen and Brousseau are decent results at this point in time and of course it's great to see Penny getting better.
 
Also in the 100m backstroke, 15 year old Madison Kryger set a new PB of 1:00.81.

And I think it was a PB for Harvey. 
 
Oleksiask dipping under 2mins for the first time since her comeback. 

1:54.21 for McIntosh in the women’s 200m freestyle final!

1:54.20 Canadian Record for Nicolas Bennett (S14) in the men’s 200m freestyle para final for a total of 997 points! For some context, a WR is 1000! 

I’ll be watching all finals sessions, so every highlight swim at the Canadian Open I’ll be doing live updates for 
 
Day 1 finals start in a couple of minutes 

New SB for Oleksiak in the heats of the women’s 200m freestyle at the Canadian Open! 2:00.91, which is a pretty solid improvement (almost two and a half seconds) on her 2:03.27 registered at the TYR Pro Swim Series Westmont abou ta month ago. Hopefully she can drop more time in the final. 

That’s such a good result for us !
