A few weeks ago, Sutherland revealed that she doesn't have many expectations from the Worlds event.Additionally, the 2025 NCAA Champion also remarked that her only aim is to finish higher than she did at the Paris Olympics last year, where she was placed seventh. The run to the final helped her make history, as she became the first Canadian woman to reach the final since 1996. She said (via CBC Sports, 5:15 onwards):"Honestly, trying to keep my expectations low, and first thing is to make the final like I did last year. It's a super competitive right now and I feel like anything can happen, especially when there's hurdles involved. So, just trying to keep my head on straight and hopefully finish higher that I did last year. So, last year was seventh and just as long as I'm making forward progress, I think that's enough for me."Notably, Savannah Sutherland also participated in the World Championships in 2023, where she was eliminated from the semifinals of the tournament, ultimately placing 16th.
