Canada draws Switzerland, Qatar, and a European team TBD (possibly Italy) for their World cup group.

3:55.37 for Summer McIntosh in the 400 free at the US Open. First competition back from illness and goes the 2nd fastest time in history.

It will be livestreamed on the CBC Sports Youtube channel

Connor Howe doesn't appear on the list of competitors for this weekend's world cup. Very concerning.

I think Dandjinou was a reserve in 2022 so teams should be allowed to bring substitutes. I think one of Pierre-Giles or Laoun would be the 3rd skater in the 500m

I now realize that there's a chance we may only get 4 men's quotas. Altogether, the sum of all short track quotas is 115 which is 3 athletes over the quota limit and some quotes will need to be cut. If the IOC decides to have an equal split per gender, then we would lose a quota since Canada is the lowest ranked men's relay that has 5 athletes qualified.

Now that you mention it, it does feel pretty likely. This means that Italy and Canada would lose their 5th male quota and China would lose their 5th female quota. Poland, Croatia and Hong Kong would get to keep their 1500m quotas. I'll edit the table with these changes.

According to the qualification document, it's the same point system as the World Cup.

10 quotas have officially been secured in short track with 3 quotas per individual event and all the relays.

Should mention that both William Dandjinou and Courtney Sarault won the crystal globes as the overall cup winners. Canada won the crystal globe for the best overall team.

You might notice that there's only 33 quotas assigned in the women's 1500m. That's because after the initial assignment of quotas, there were 115 quotas which is 3 over the limit. According to the qualification system, the 1500m distances are the last events to assign quotas since they have a max quota of 36 instead of 32. For the men's event, France, Hungary, and Ukraine have the last spots and removing them wouldn't affect the quota totals. Therefore unfortunately, I had to remove one quota from Croatia, Hong Kong and Poland to get the total to 112. We'll see what the NOC does about all this. If anyone actually knows the correct procedures, please comment below.

I'm getting 115 quotas in my calculations. Looks like some quotas will have to be cut.

Not sure if I've seen this before. One of the races has to be recalled because the DJ accidentally started playing music before the race started

I have lost track of how many times Dandjinou has wiped out this season

Silver for Courtney Sarault in the 1500m

Jacobs with two in the 7th to lead 5-3

If last year taught us anything, it's that the team knows how to peak when it matters most. Canada only won 3 medals at the final World Tour Stop last year and then won 10 at the World Championships.

Heartbreaking, Philippines missed a quota in the men's 500m by one spot On the other hand, Turkey has earned not 1 but 2 quotas in the event

Pigeon represents Poland although his name definitely sounds french. Actually, I think he's originally from Quebec if I remember correctly.

And it was gold for Dubois before being penalized.

When you have 6 skaters in a 500m final, you can expect complete chaos.

Another gold for Dandjinou in the 1500m! Roussel also takes silver for his first individual medal of the season.

I wouldn't panic. Olympic Trials are in a couple of weeks and she's the only one who's met the pre-selection criteria.
