Canada's Summer McIntosh breaks own world record in 400-metre individual medley
Canada's Summer Mcintosh holds a trophy for the Athlete of the Year at the World Short Course Swimming Championships in Budapest, Hungary, Sunday, Dec. 15, 2024. (AP Photo/Denes Erdos) VICTORIA — Teen sensation Summer McIntosh has broken yet another record at the Canadian Swimming Trials. The 18-year-old from Toronto swam the 400-metre individual medley in four minutes 23.65 seconds, breaking the world record 4:24.38 she set at the Olympic trials in Toronto last May. It's the third time McIntosh has set a new world record at this year's Canadian trials, after she posted a new mark in the 200m individual medley on Monday and in the 400m freestyle on Saturday. She also broke her own Canadian records in the 800m freestyle Sunday, finishing in 8:05.07 -- nearly five seconds faster than her previous time -- and in the 200m butterfly on Tuesday. McIntosh also holds the world record in the 200m butterfly. She won three golds and one silver at the Paris Olympics last summer, becoming the first Canadian to ever take three golds at a single Games.

Riders' Emilus looking for consistency after scorching start
Saskatchewan Roughriders receiver Samuel Emilus (19) catches the football for a touchdown as Ottawa Redblacks defensive back Adrian Frye (22) defends during the first half of CFL football action in Regina, on Thursday, June 5, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Heywood Yu Saskatchewan Roughriders' receiver Sam Emilus is coming off of back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, and a dominant week one performance has him on track to eclipse the milestone yet again. The Montreal native registered eight catches for 133 yards and a touchdown against the Redblacks. The yardage total ties him with Ottawa's Justin Hardy for the league-lead after the first week. But Emilus wants to remain consistent. 'Staying in my playbook and taking in each opponent, being serious and making sure I'm doing my homework, so come game time I just do my part. The last thing I want to do is let my teammate down by not knowing my assignment or not making plays when they need to be made,' he said. With fellow receiver Kian Schaffer-Baker lost to a foot injury in week one, an ailment that may cost Schaffer-Baker a good chunk of the season, Emilus will look to spearhead a collaborative effort to make up for the loss of the star pass-catcher. 'It's a huge loss, it's one of the best receivers in the league, regardless of who you replace him with, it's a tough one,' said Riders' quarterback Trevor Harris. 'But we have great depth, we have a great scouting department that's brought in a great roster with great depth, and we'll try and hold the fort down until he's back.' While Emilus may have stormed out of the gates in 2025, he refuses to hang his hat on one solid performance. 'I don't want to be the guy that says he had one good game and that's it. Obviously, I have to keep going on that, but it's going to come by being consistent every week,' he said. Emilus and company will face their first road test on Saturday in Hamilton, where the entirety of the offence will look to keep rolling early in the season.

Calgary golfer Hunter Thomson comes from Canadian Open pro baptism to compete in Glencoe Invitational
Calgary golfer Hunter Thomson is competing in this week's Glencoe Invitational after narrowly missing the cut in his first professional tournament, the Canadian Open. The Peleton Glencoe Invitational gets underway Thursday, where the next generation of Canadian golfers hope to follow in the footsteps of an illustrious roster of past winners. All the big names in Canadian golf have at one time teed it up in the Glencoe Invitational. Corey Conners, Taylor Pendrith, Adam Hadwin and Nick Taylor all played in the tournament. Past winners include Graham Delaet, Mackenzie Hughes and Jared Du Toit. And that's who many of the current crop of young Canadian golfers aspire to become, including one Calgary golfer who caught the attention of the golf world in his very first tournament -- last week's Canadian Open. There are four divisions in the Glencoe Invitational -- men's and women's amateur and men's and women's professional. Calgarian Hunter Thomson is in the field in this week's Glencoe event, after narrowly missing the cut at the Canadian Open last weekend, his first professional tournament. Thomson was four under and one shot inside the cut line with three holes left in his second round last Friday when the moment may have gotten to him. He played the final three holes in four over par, missing the cut by three strokes.

'I really learned that I have the game to compete out there,' he said, 'and I feel like it's kind of where I belong. It's a really big confidence boost.' He said being around the best Canadian golfers felt fantastic. 'All the pros on the PGA Tour from Canada right now are really a huge inspiration for me,' he said. 'Guys like Corey Conners, Nick Taylor, Taylor Pendrith, all those guys are paving the way for us young Canadians, so it's really inspirational for sure.' After the Glencoe Invitational, Thomson said he's taking a few weeks off before he tees it up in New Brunswick for the first week of the Canadian Tour. The Glencoe Invitational starts Thursday and the final round is Saturday. With files from CTV's Glenn Campbell
