Canadian midfielder Quinn healthy again and back in fold for Argentina friendlies

CBC27-03-2025

Quinn, who has not played for Canada since the Paris Olympics, returns from injury for a pair of international friendlies against Argentina in B.C. during the April FIFA window.
The return of the influential 29-year-old midfielder from Toronto is good news for Casey Stoney ahead of her first games on Canadian soil as head coach. The seventh-ranked Canadians host No. 33 Argentina on April 4 at B.C. Place Stadium in Vancouver and April 8 at Starlight Stadium in Langford.
"We're all excited to be playing on home soil in front of our fans in British Columbia," said Stoney, a former England captain. "This group has a great blend of experience and emerging talent, and these matches will be an important chance for us to keep building and growing together."
Quinn, now with the Vancouver Rise of the new Super League, has earned 104 caps for Canada and played in all four games at the Paris Olympics in a 2024 disrupted by a knee injury and concussion.
Leicester forward Deanne Rose also returns from injury.
Stoney is still missing injured defenders Kadeisha Buchanan (Chelsea, England) and Sydney Collins (North Carolina Courage, NWSL), midfielder Simi Awujo (Manchester United, England) and forwards Jordyn Huitema (OL Reign, NWSL) and Cloe Lacasse (Utah Royals, NWSL).
Canada is 6-0-0 all-time against Argentina, outscoring the South Americans 14-1. Canada won 2-0 the last time they met, in October 2022, in Cadiz, Spain.
The Canadian women are coming off a championship run at the Pinatar Cup in February in Spain where they defeated No. 28 Mexico 2-0 and No. 42 Taiwan 7-0 after drawing No. 17 China 1-1 in Stoney's debut as coach.
Veterans on the roster for the Argentina series include captain Jessie Fleming, defenders Vanessa Gilles, Ashley Lawrence and Shelina Zadorsky, midfielder Julia Grosso and forwards Adriana Leon, Nichelle Prince, Deanne Rose and Janine Sonis (nee Beckie).
The squad features 21 players from the Pinatar Cup roster.

Clarke raced back and planted his right foot about halfway up the wall in a perfectly timed leap and grabbed the top for support. He extended the upper half of his body several feet beyond the wall and made a backhand grab with his left arm fully stretched out. The Toronto-born Clarke let out a roar after the catch. Schanuel gazed toward the outfield in disbelief, and Holman held his hands above his head.

Canadian teen Summer McIntosh sets two world records in three days

Canadian teen Summer McIntosh set her second world record in three days at the Canadian swimming trials on Monday night. McIntosh swam the 200-meter individual medley in 2 minutes 5.7 seconds, breaking the previous record of 2:06.12 set by Hungary great Katinka Hosszu in 2015. '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,' McIntosh said. The 18-year-old Toronto native had already broken the world best mark in the 400 freestyle on Saturday, completing the race in 3:54.18, shaving more than a second off the old record of 3:55.38 set by Ariarne Titmus of Australia.

'I'm really trying to take it one race at a time,' McIntosh said. 'Really kind of cruising the heats and then coming to every final super locked in and focused.' McIntosh won three gold medals at the Paris Olympics last year, winning her three individual events of the 400 and 200 individual medleys and the 200 butterfly. She also won silver in the 400 free.
