Summer McIntosh shatters two more swimming world records at Canadian trials
The teenage swimmer set her second world record in three days at the Canadian trials on Monday night in Victoria, British Columbia.
McIntosh swam the 200-meter individual medley in 2 minutes, 5.7 seconds, breaking the record of 2:06.12 set by Katinka Hosszu of Hungary in 2015. McIntosh is the first female swimmer to finish under 2:06.

The 18-year-old from Toronto had already broken the world mark in the 400 freestyle on Saturday, completing the race in 3:54.18 and winning by more than 13 seconds. McIntosh took more than a second off the old record of 3:55.38 set by Ariarne Titmus of Australia in 2023.
McIntosh broke her Canadian record in the 800 free on Sunday with a time of 8:05.07, which was just 0.95 of a second off the world record set by Katie Ledecky in May.

'I knew that my training has been really good these past few months, and I knew that I could do something special,' McIntosh told the CBC.
McIntosh also holds the 400 IM world record, as well as the 400 free, 200 butterfly and 400 IM records in the short-course pool.
McIntosh and Ledecky are likely to meet in the 400 freestyle at the World Championships in Singapore on July 27. They also could battle in the 800 freestyle if McIntosh decides to swim in that race after bypassing it at the Paris Olympics.

China's 12-year-old swimming sensation Yu Zidi becomes youngest medalist in World Aquatics Championships history
China's Yu Zidi has already burst onto the swimming scene, but the 12-year-old made more history at the 2025 World Aquatics Championships on Thursday. Yu became the youngest ever medalist at the competition after being part of China's bronze medal winning team in the 4x200-meter freestyle relay in Singapore. Although she did not compete in Thursday's final, Yu was eligible for a medal as she swam in the preliminary race to qualify her country for the final. Australia's team of Lani Pallister, Jamie Perkins, Brittany Castelluzzo and Mollie O'Callaghan won gold in a time of 7:39.35, with the US earning silver in 7:40.01 and China finishing almost three seconds after the Americans in third in 7:42.99. Yu had narrowly missed out on an individual medal in the women's 200m butterfly earlier on Thursday after finishing fourth, 0.31 seconds behind third-placed Elizabeth Dekkers of Australia. She also finished fourth and just outside a medal position in the women's 200m medley on Monday, touching the wall 0.06 seconds behind bronze winner Mary-Sophie Harvey of Canada. She will have one more opportunity to win an individual medal at the 2025 World Aquatics Championships when she competes in the women's 400m medley, with both the heats and the final on Sunday. Yu's participation in the World Aquatics Championships has led to questions over the competition's eligibility rules. Swimming governing body World Aquatics has a minimum age requirement of 14 for the world championships, but Yu's times are so fast that she qualifies regardless. Brent Nowicki, the executive director of World Aquatics, admitted during the championships that the governing body will have to review its guidelines in the future. 'I didn't think I'd have this conversation, but now I think we have to go back and say, 'Is this appropriate?'' Nowicki told reporters in Singapore, per the Associated Press. 'Is this really the right way to go forward and do we need to do other things? Put other guardrails up? Do we allow it under certain conditions? I don't know the answer.'

Jezza century on cards after Cats whack Port
Jeremy Cameron has continued his pursuit of a rare century with six goals as Geelong pressed their case for an AFL top-two spot with an 88-point thumping of Port Adelaide. Cameron swelled his season tally to 75 majors as the focal point in the home side's dominant 23.15 (153) to 9.11 (65) victory at GMHBA Stadium on Sunday. It lifted the fourth-placed Cats (14-6) to within one win of top sides Adelaide and Collingwood, and two points shy of Brisbane, with three rounds left in the home-and-away campaign. Tom Stewart was involved in this incident with Ollie Wines. — AFL (@AFL) August 3, 2025 Cameron, who kicked 11 goals against North Melbourne in round 20, had four goals to halftime against Port under close attention from Lachie Jones. The 32-year-old requires another 25 majors in three games plus finals to become the first player since Hawthorn's Lance Franklin in 2008 to kick 100 in a season. Max Holmes (35 disposals, two goals), Bailey Smith (30 touches, eight) and Gryran Miers (30 disposals, one goal) also stood out for Geelong, and substitute Jack Martin kicked four goals in a superb cameo. The only concern for the Cats was Tom Stewart's high contact on Ollie Wines, which will be scrutinised by the AFL match review officer. Stewart jumped off the ground in an attempt to smother a Wines handpass and landed on his Power opponent. But Stewart's act did not appear malicious and he immediately showed concern for Wines, who was able to play out the game. Holmes' running power was on full display from the outset, when he started a play from half-back and ended it by strolling in to kick the opening goal. Scores were level at quarter-time but the Cats grabbed the contest by the throat when they posted 5.6 to 1.0 in the second term, including three majors to Cameron. The Cats MIGHT be looking for Jezza 😅#AFLCatsPower — AFL (@AFL) August 3, 2025 Cats sub Martin replaced ruckman Rhys Stanley in a tactical switch and lit up the third quarter with four goals within a few minutes of entering the fray. It came as Geelong piled on 9.3 to 1.2 in the third quarter against a Power side that managed just six tackles for the term, before hitting cruise control in the last. Wines (32 disposals, eight clearancs) and Travis Boak (24 touches, one goal) fought hard for Port, who lost captain Connor Rozee (illness) as a late withdrawal. Zak Butters was held to just 10 touches and Jase Burgoyne was subbed out in the third quarter with an ankle injury.
