Monster last leg from Leduc 

This is not a full retirement, but kind of a break/sabbatical due to...reasons.
 
 For those who have been following @brunamoura's journey towards and last February eventually, finally, at the Olympics, this might be an interesting update. The 2030 Olympics are still in her sight, but next year's world championships in February seem...unlikely.
 
She still needs to do at least two surgeries, one on her nasal cavities due to a chronic inflammation that has been bothering her for years, and one on her legs. In the Olympic season she struggled immensely with pain in her legs, which in the freestyle technique made her sometimes just not even able to move and therefore finish or even start the races. The Olympic 10k freestyle was hard and painful, but she managed to get through it. We knew she was dealing with compartment syndrome, which is quite serious and certainly needs to be dealt with surgically, but the recovery time for that meant that doing so during the season would likely jeopardize the Olympics - again.
 
The plan was to do the surgeries this year, but that's unlikely to happen now...
 
 

A huge announcement from the government. An additional $660 million will be spent over the next years, with $110 million ongoing after that. Just a reminder the NSOs had asked for $144 million extra a year, so this is huge.

This is just unbelievable...

82.43m WL for Ethan Katzberg in mens hammer throw at the Kip Keino Classic!

80.03m for Camryn Rogers at the Kip Keino Classic in women’s hammer throw

Taylor Ruck with a new PB in the 100 fly. 57.71! Also won the 50 free in 24.78.
 
Oliver Dawson won the 100 breast in 1:00.20. After his performances this week, was hoping he would break the minute barrier but it's still a new PB for him. Hopefully we see some breaststroke Canadian records go down at trials. He also split 59.79 on the mixed medley relay.
 
I would also say it was a pretty good meet for Ella Jansen overal. Was just off her PB in the 200 free and set new PB's in the 100 free, 50 fly, 200 back and 200 IM (with the 200 back and 200 IM PB's happening 20 minutes apart). Hoping to see her take that next step this summer. 

Sydney Pickrem has officially retired

Kelsey Mitchell has started training again.

2:06:04 for Rory Linkletter at the Boston Marathon, closing in on Levin's NR. 

To give some insight into how ridiculous Angharad's time was, the mixed relay that includes her, the infamous female breaststroker, is one second quicker than the four that includes Adam ****ing Peaty.
 
It's VERY rare your quickest mixed 4 includes your female breaststroker - the slowest stroke also creates, generally the biggest 'sex' gap. But if your male stroker is relatively very weak (think USA Tokyo 2020) it can be explained.
 
When your male stroker is Adam Peaty, backed up by Filip Nowacki, its insane.

First careers Play-off hattrick for Juraj Slafkovský last night in the opening Stanley Cup Play-Offs 1st round. That was like million years since it happened last time from a Slovak player 
 
 
 

2:00:91 for Avery Pearson in the women's 800m at the Bryan Clay Invitational, just off her PB. Promising start to the season for her
