    Canadian Open (Tennis)

    The first Canadian Open in tennis was held in 1881 for men and in 1892 for women. Since 1968, these championships have been made of two components: the international competition and the national tournament reserved for the best Canadian players. This tournament was only interrupted by two world wars, from 1914 to 1918 and 1941 to 1945. The list of winners is impressive and includes several prestigious names in the history of tennis. The most recent Canadians to claim the open title were Robert Bédard, winning in 1955, 1957 and 1958, and Faye Urban in 1969.

    IOC Promises Reforms

    The bar at the Palace Hotel in Lausanne breathes old money, of the sort expected in a sedate but five-star Swiss lodging where the price of a room starts at $400 a night and spirals upward.

    Jackie Robinson and the Montreal Royals (1946)

    On 15 April 1947, Jackie Robinson played in his debut game with the Brooklyn Dodgers, becoming the first African American to play in the major leagues in the modern era. Prior to that point, professional baseball in the United States was segregated, with African Americans playing in the Negro leagues. When Robinson broke Major League Baseball’s colour barrier in 1947, he entered American history books. What many baseball fans may not realize, however, is that Robinson was embraced by Canadian fans one year earlier as a member of the Montreal Royals, a farm team for the Brooklyn Dodgers.
