Day five of the 2025 Canada Summer Games brought a mix of triumph and heart for Team Saskatchewan, as athletes competed across ten sports in St. John’s. While some sports saw rest or postponement due to weather and wildfire conditions, others delivered dramatic finishes, record-breaking performances, and promising momentum heading into the latter half of the games.

Prince Albert swimmer Ali Diehl made waves in the pool with a standout performance during prelims in the Women’s 100m Breaststroke Multi-Class Para (SB4-9, 11-14), setting a new Canada Games record with a time of 1:23.21. The team also saw multiple strong B final finishes, continuing a solid campaign in the pool.

The men’s basketball team silenced the loud Newfoundland crowd with an 86-82 win over the hosts in an exciting Wednesday night matchup.

Meanwhile, the women’s basketball squad capped off their round robin with a victory over Manitoba to top Pool C, securing a quarterfinal berth against Team BC on Thursday morning.
