Canadian teenager Summer McIntosh sets two world swimming records in three days
Canada's Summer McIntosh celebrates winning the gold medal in the women's 200-meter individual medley at the 2024 Paris Games. McIntosh set a world record in that event Monday night. (Brynn Anderson / Associated Press) On Monday night, Summer McIntosh won the 200-meter individual medley at the 2025 Canadian swimming trials to set her second world record in just three days. She had already achieved one world record at the trials in Victoria. Advertisement McIntosh won the 200-meter individual medley in 2 minutes, 5.7 seconds. The previous world record of 2:06.12, set by Hungary's Katinka Hosszú, had stood for 10 years. After shaving a second off her previous best time on the backstroke leg, McIntosh was still a tenth of a second off Hosszú's previous record pace at the final turn. But McIntosh crushed the freestyle leg in 29.65 seconds, another personal best, to finish in world-record time. 'It's been one of those records that's always been in the back of my mind since trials two years ago,' the 18-year-old Toronto native said afterward. "I've been knocking on the door on this one. I've just tried to chip away, chip away at it. To finally do it, it's kind of like 'Wow, I've finally got that done.''

She first set the mark with 3:56.18 in 2023, but was bested the same year by Australian swimmer Ariarne Titmus' 3:55.38. But on Saturday, McIntosh was back on top of the world after swimming a 3:54.18. 'That last 100, I'm usually really, really hurting. But I flipped at the 200, and I was just cruising," McIntosh said. "I knew I was having a strong swim and I could tell by the crowd and the way they were cheering that I was probably close to the world record, so I really tried to push that last part for them.' In between those two historic swims, McIntosh also improved on her Canadian record in the 800 freestyle, with a time of 8:05.07. U.S. swimming star Katie Ledecky holds the world record in that event after finishing in 8:04.12 at the TYR Pro Swim Series in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., last month. McIntosh won four medals at the Paris Olympics last year — three golds (200 butterfly, 200 and 400 IM) and one silver (400 freestyle). She holds the world record in the 400 IM; she swam it in 4:24.38 at last year's Canadian swimming finals. Advertisement With three more days of competition, is there a chance she'll grab a fourth world record before the event is over? Maybe. The 400 IM is scheduled for Wednesday.

French Open champ Coco Gauff 'surprised' by Aryna Sabalenka's comments after loss in final
Newly crowned French Open champion Coco Gauff said she was surprised by comments opponent Aryna Sabalenka made after the women's final, citing her poor performance for the American's victory. Sabalenka, who lost to Gauff in the finals of the 2023 U.S. Open, was emotional after her loss at Roland Garros Saturday, calling her performance the "worst tennis" she's played in months. But Sabalenka failed to give credit to Gauff, saying the win was a result of her poor play. "I think I was overemotional," Sabalenka said after the match. "I didn't really handle myself quite well mentally, I would say. So, basically, that's it. I was just making unforced errors. I think she won the match not because she played incredible, just because I made all of those mistakes from, like, if you look from the outside, kind of like from easy balls." Reacting to those comments during an appearance on "Good Morning America," Gauff explained that both players had to battle tough conditions during the final. She said she was "surprised" by Sabalenka's remarks, but she knew the match was emotional for her opponent. "Obviously, I know she was probably a bit emotional after that match, and it was a tough loss. But, honestly, when I stepped on the court, I was aware of the wind. We both practiced with the roof closed. … But when I found out it was open and saw how windy it was on the court, I knew it was going to be an ugly win. "I was a little bit surprised about the comments and everything, but I'm gonna give her the benefit of the doubt. I'm sure it was an emotional day, emotional match." Sabalenka released a statement in response to criticism about her comments. "Yesterday was a tough one. Coco handled the conditions much better than I did and she fully deserved the win," her post on social media said. "She was the better player yesterday, and I want to give her the credit she earned." Gauff suggested there was no bad blood between the two, calling Sabalenka a "fighter" and "tough opponent." Coco is 6-5 against Sabalenka. Two of those wins have been Grand Slam titles.

‘No need to panic', insists Tuchel after England slump to Senegal defeat
Thomas Tuchel insisted England should not panic over their World Cup prospects despite being humbled by Senegal one year and one day before the tournament starts. Tuchel suffered the first defeat of his reign at the City Ground and England their first loss to African opposition in 22 matches as Senegal ran out deserving 3-1 winners. Jude Bellingham had a goal controversially disallowed at 2-1 but, after the laboured win against Andorra in World Cup qualifying on Saturday, there was no disguising the paucity of England's latest performance under their German coach. England were booed off for the second game in succession. Advertisement Related: Cheikh Sabaly's clincher condemns England to sobering defeat by Senegal The England head coach, however, insisted improvement would come and it was premature to worry about the World Cup one year in advance. 'We lost a test match so there is no need to panic,' said Tuchel. 'We have three qualification games, we have nine points, we have not conceded and we will be competitive in September and we will go for two more victories, 100%. We know more now, we are smarter. It is tough at the moment. I am the first one to dislike and hate losses but we don't go next week, we go in one year and I think by nature it will get more competitive in the nomination process and in the demands for players to be nominated and to be with us in September, October, November because we are in a World Cup season.' Tuchel defended his decision to leave Ivan Toney on the bench until the 88th minute, explaining the striker was at his best inside the box and England were not close enough to it when he brought on Morgan Rogers instead. But he conceded the defeat, plus two poor performances, would leave a bad feeling throughout the summer. Advertisement The England head coach said: 'Now we go into a long break with a bad feeling and a loss which is simply not nice and not what we wanted. I will never be glad for a loss. I'm glad for a tough test and challenges. We wanted to feel the quality of a top-20 team and we felt their quality. We felt what it means to them. I heard them in the dressing room before the match, I heard them in the dressing room after the match so I know how much it means to them to play against us. How much joy they expressed if they make this happen. 'It's the right thing to test, the right thing to challenge. Of course we demand a lot of ourselves and I demand more of myself, we wanted to play better against Andorra, and do better today. It is a tough learning.'
