Five Canadian medal contenders to watch at the world swimming championships in Singapore
Canada is sending a powerhouse swimming squad to the World Aquatics Championships in Singapore, with several top medal contenders hitting the pool when competition begins Saturday. Here are five Canadian medal contenders to watch at the worlds: The 18-year-old set three world records and five Canadian records while qualifying in five events at the Canadian swim trials. The Toronto native became the first swimmer to break three different individual long-course world records in one meet since American Michael Phelps at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Despite that, McIntosh believes she can be even faster at the world championships. She's coming off a four-medal showing (three gold, one silver) at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, where she became the first Canadian athlete to win three gold medals at a single Olympic Games. Liendo, 22, won silver in the men's 100-metre butterfly in his Olympic debut in Paris last year. Now, the Toronto native looks to add to his world championship medal haul, which stands at four. He earned three medals at the 2022 worlds (one silver, two bronze) and another silver in 2023 in the 100 butterfly. The 20-year-old Montreal native was on the very same podium as Liendo, taking bronze in the 100 butterfly in Paris. But he also earned bronze in the 200 butterfly in his Olympic debut. At swim trials in Victoria, Kharun also got the better of Liendo in the 100 by 0.9 seconds. Kharun has seven short-course world championship medals (one gold, four silver, two bronze) but will be in search of his first world championship medal in Singapore. The Lasalle, Ont., product has been a staple on Canada's successful women's program over the years, both individually and in relay events. Masse, 29, has amassed five Olympic medals (two silver, three bronze) and nine world championship medals (three gold, one silver, five bronze) over her career. Masse, who specializes in the backstroke, said she's put 'a little more focus' into the 50-metre event after winning at nationals. Knox is slated to defend his world title after cruising to victory in the 200 individual medley at Canadian swim trials in one minute 57.25 seconds. The 24-year-old from Okotoks, Alta., outdid his time at the Paris Games by one-hundredth of a second at the trials, while leaving room to show even more at worlds with his 2024 world-title winning time being 1:56.64 and his national record of 1:56.07.

Davis: Grading the Saskatchewan Roughriders 1/3 through their CFL season
One-third of the way through their 18-game regular season and almost atop their CFL class, what A-to-F (for failing) grade do the Saskatchewan Roughriders deserve? Article content 'B,' said Riders head coach Corey Mace. 'We're not what we quite want to be yet and I don't think anybody would have anything to say to argue that. I think we know the capability of where we want to go. And regardless of what game you pick, we're just not quite there yet. Article content Article content Article content 'But we're OK with that because we love the challenge of trying to find the solutions to the equations. So we're not afraid of the work. These guys are working their tails off, whether it's in the meeting room, the weight room or on the field. So that would be an honest answer' Article content As they prepare for Friday's CFL game against the visiting Edmonton Elks, the Roughriders have a 5-1 record, tied atop the West with the Calgary Stampeders. Slated to play the Montreal Alouettes on Thursday, Calgary also had a 5-1 record and a tiebreaking advantage over Saskatchewan because of a surprisingly easy, 24-10 victory over the hometown Roughriders in their first (of two) regular-season meetings. Article content Mace's assessment was fair, but it would be tough to fit into the teacher's comments on a report card. Here's a quick, position-by-position grading of the Roughriders at the one-third mark: Article content Quarterbacks: A-. While losing to Calgary, starter Trevor Harris had his worst game of the season and still passed for 425 yards. His ability to quickly find open receivers is legendary. Backup Jake Maier played one cautious game while Harris was injured and didn't give away the victory. Third-stringer Tommy Stevens is virtually unstoppable on short-yardage plays. Article content Running backs: B. With a rebuilt physique allowing him to make seam-hitting second cuts, A.J. Ouellette was rambling for 90 yards per game, until he was held to nine yards on six carries by Calgary's stout defence. Backups Thomas Bertrand-Hudon and Ka'Deem Carey were fine fill-ins, until getting hurt. Article content Article content Receivers: B. Playing without Kian Schaffer-Baker, Sam Emilus and Shawn Bane Jr., there have been some surprisingly strong games from Dohnte Meyers, Dhel Duncan-Busby, KeeSean Johnson and Joe Robustelli, all second-year players. Meyers was the latest, catching seven passes for 132 yards and two TDs in a 33-27 victory over the B.C. Lions.
