TORONTO — Penny Oleksiak has withdrawn from the world swimming championships because of injury.
Swimming Canada says the 22-year-old from Toronto, who is Canada’s most decorated Olympian with a career seven medals, has a left shoulder condition that will not allow her to compete July 14-30 in Fukuoka, Japan.
Oleksiak had been trying to find her form after right knee surgery in August, 2022.
She competed in May in the Barcelona leg of the Mare Nostrum tour.
