"VAN" (Sports Desk - 11.09.2026) :: A year after helping Canada secure bronze at The World Games 2025 in Chengdu, Sara Parker has reached the top of the world. The Canadian quarterback played a central role in her team’s World Championship triumph in Düsseldorf, a victory that also secured Olympic qualification and earned her the title of Athlete of the Month for August 2026. For Parker, the journey from Chengdu to Düsseldorf was defined by growth, trust and an increasingly powerful team connection. “I think the biggest difference was our chemistry and the time we had to develop as a group,” she says. “We’re a very special group of girls, and over that year, we had more time together to develop, build our chemistry, and really polish the small details of our game.”
