The 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo are approaching, and excitement is rising among Canadian sports fans. Our delegation arrives in Japan with legitimate ambitions: with 12 world championship medalists and 11 Olympic medalists among its ranks, Canada is determined to make its mark on the Olympic Stadium track.
Coverage accessible to all fans
Radio-Canada will make life easier for fans by offering full streaming coverage. No more switching between channels or setting early alarms: all events will be accessible on any screen, allowing fans to follow their favorite athletes wherever they are. You can also use a VPN to watch the championships from outside Canada.
The venue is familiar to our athletes. This same Olympic Stadium hosted them during the 2020 Games, giving them a significant psychological advantage for these 49 events where 147 medals will be awarded.
Star athletes who instill confidence
Hard not to smile when watching this team. Camryn Rogers and Ethan Katzberg, Olympic hammer throw champions, return to familiar ground to defend their world titles. Their consistency this season promises impressive performances.
Sarah Mitton in the shot put perfectly embodies this Canadian drive for redemption. The 2023 world silver medalist comes this time with the experience and maturity needed to aim even higher.
The men’s 4x100m relay remains our collective pride.
Andre De Grasse, Aaron Brown, Brendon Rodney, and Jerome Blake have already proven their exceptional chemistry by winning Olympic gold in Paris. Their flawless synchronization makes them natural favorites.
Marco Arop will defend his colors in the 800m as the reigning world champion, while Audrey Leduc, holder of Canadian sprint records, could create a few surprises in individual events.
A blend of experience and youth
This team impresses with its balance of seasoned veterans and hungry young talents. Savannah Sutherland, who set a new Canadian record in the 400m hurdles this season, perfectly represents this new generation stepping onto the world stage with confidence.
With 22 athletes experiencing their first World Championships, this Canadian delegation skillfully blends experience with youthful fearlessness. A combination that could bring exciting surprises for the country’s fans.
These nine days of competition promise to be full of emotion for Canadian colors. Excellence awaits.
