The Final Leg

Understanding Andre De Grasse: Canada’s Olympic Sprint Champion


Listen Later

Andre De Grasse of Canada has been one of the most consistent sprinters of the past decade, having won a total of 7 individual medals since 2015, including Olympic 200m Gold in Tokyo 2020. Despite his accomplishments, he flies under the radar a bit and is sometimes overlooked throughout the season leading up to the Olympics or Worlds.

Today we discuss why Andre is in the conversation with some of the greatest sprinters of All-time, dive into each of his medal-winning seasons and what he did leading up to Worlds or Olympics, as well as breakdown his chances at getting onto the podium once again at his 3rd Olympics in Paris later this summer.
