Watch live coverage of World Aquatics Championships from Singapore
Having already secured one, Summer McIntosh continues her drive for five individual gold medals at 2025 worlds with the women's 200-metre individual medley at 8:19 a.m. ET on Monday.
The 18-year-old superstar from Toronto will be joined in the race by compatriot Mary-Sophie Harvey of Trois-Rivières, Que., after the pair qualified for the final on Sunday — placing 1-2 in their heat, respectively.
McIntosh owns the world record in the event with a time of 2 minutes 5.70 seconds, set during national trials in June.
Reporter Devin Heroux will be on site in Singapore speaking to Canadians following their races, and will join The Ready Room show live on YouTube every day after finals, with Brittany MacLean Campbell hosting from Toronto. The show will include Canadian highlights, athlete interviews and analysis.
Watch live coverage of every race at the swimming worlds on CBCSports.ca and CBC Gem, with finals beginning at 7 a.m. ET each day. The full competition schedule is available here.
McIntosh kicked off her world championship campaign Sunday by taking down American icon Katie Ledecky in the women's 400m freestyle final, touching the wall in 3:56.26.
"I think I'm at my best. I'm in the best shape of my life. So now I just have to act on that and put it into all my races," McIntosh said after Sunday's final.
The result in the 400m free final helped McIntosh extend her Canadian-best career gold medal total to five at long-course worlds, and with her ninth medal overall moved into a tie with Kylie Masse and Penny Oleksiak for most ever by a Canadian.

These are some of Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s favourite Toronto places
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is sharing some of his favourite spots in a city that he says has become his 'home away from home.' The Blue Jays star posted a video to social media on Thursday in which he gave fans a glimpse at what his typical off-day looks like in Toronto. The video is part of a series of videos produced by the Lebron James-founded media company Uninterrupted in which sports stars show off some of their favourite places. 'They think this a boring city but I say Toronto is the best,' Guerrero Jr. says in the video. 'You got to feel it because it is hard to explain how the vibe is. The energy, you feel it everywhere.' Guerrero Jr. grew up in the Dominican Republic but mentions in the video that Canada has become his 'second home,' given that he spent considerable time in Montreal as a child, where his father was a star player for the Expos. He joined the Blue Jays in 2019 and recently signed a 14-year, $500 million (USD) contract to remain in the city long-term. In the video, Guerrero Jr. is shown dining at the El Camion la Fritanga food truck which he said has 'the best Dominican food' and is run by a Torontonian who grew up 10 minutes from where he was raised. Guerrero Jr., joined by several of his cousins, tries a couple dishes served up from the truck, including one called Yaroa, which is made up of fries, meat and melted cheese, and topped with a variety of condiments. Next up on the baseball star's itinerary is a shopping trip in Yorkville, which includes a stop at the streetwear and luxury retailer Kenshi where he concedes that he probably owns 200 to 300 pairs of sneakers. After that, it's lunch time and Guerrero Jr. heads to Matty Matheson's Prime Seafood Palace on Queen Street West. 'Whenever I am out with the boys we always look for one thing: steak. It is our ultimate cheat meal and this spot is known for the best steak in Toronto,' he says. After sampling a cote de boeuf bone-in ribeye steak and a handful of appetizers with one of his cousins, Guerrero Jr. spends some time playing a baseball video game where he and the rest of his cousins are seen ordering poutine from the Poutine Hub on Parliament Street. 'Give me the bowl,' Guerrero Jr. says before remarking 'it is good, it is good.' These era some of Vladimir Guerrero Jr. favourite Toronto places:

CFL, Blue Bombers monitoring Winnipeg air quality ahead of game against Argonauts
Winnipeg Blue Bombers quarterback Chris Streveler (17) scrambles to recover the football during first half CFL football action against the Toronto Argonauts in Toronto on Saturday, July 26, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Nathan Denette WINNIPEG — The CFL and Winnipeg Blue Bombers say they're monitoring air quality ahead of Friday's scheduled game against the Toronto Argonauts. Forest fire smoke from northern Saskatchewan and Manitoba has drifted into the Manitoba capital. Winnipeg's Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) was at 10-plus — or very high risk — as of 10 a.m. local time. The game at Princess Auto Stadium was still set for 7:30 p.m., with air quality expected to improve throughout the day, the league and team said in a post on the Bombers' X account, formerly Twitter. The CFL's air quality policy states that if the AQHI reaches eight or above, which Environment Canada deems high risk, during warmups or the game, the players will be sent to their dressing rooms. All CFL stadiums are equipped with real-time, air-quality monitoring systems and an update was expected in the afternoon. Poor air quality in Regina forced the Calgary Stampeders and Saskatchewan Roughriders to postpone their July 13 game to the following afternoon. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 1, 2025.
