Canadian Andre De Grasse sets sights on 200m at World Athletics Championships
The star sprinter is set to compete in the 200 metres and help Canada defend its title in the men’s 4x100 relay at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary, which run from Saturday to Aug. 27.
The six-time Olympic medalist and reigning 200 Olympic champion understands how it is, though he’s not necessarily impressed by it. While he ignores much of the conversation around the favourites heading into Budapest, he is kept informed by those close to him. “I guess I’ve got to do a [documentary] I need one of those,” De Grasse joked in reference to NBA superstar Stephen Curry’s documentaryDe Grasse failed to run a worlds qualifying time for the 100, including having missed the final at nationals before running a season-best – and qualifying time – 20.01 seconds to win the national 200 title two days later in July.“It was tough,” said De Grasse, the reigning Olympic bronze medalist in the 100.
De Grasse failed to qualify for the 100 final and pulled out of the 200 before putting on a memorable performance as the anchor to help Canada win relay gold at the 2022 worlds.
