Six-time Olympic medallist Andre De Grasse captured gold in the men's 100 metres at the Canadian Olympic and Paralympic track and field trials on Friday, booking his spot at the Paris Games. Andre De Grasse crossed the finish line with his arms open wide, certain he'd just sprinted to yet another Canadian title in the 100 metres.
Luckily for him, it was only a scare. A timing system issue gave Adjibi the edge before officials corrected the results following a review. "I waited, I waited, I waited, and I see my name is still first, I was like, 'Oh , I won,"' he said. "They made me do the lap, I came back and damn, boom. I didn't win.De Grasse, who won gold in the 200 and bronze in the 100 at the Tokyo Games in 2021, is rounding into form ahead of his third Olympics.
" upgrade those medals. In the 100, I've won back-to-back bronze, so if I can get a silver or contend for a gold, that's the plan. That's the goal."National record-holder Audrey Leduc of Gatineau, Que., a rising star, won the women's 100 in 11.20 to confirm her place in Paris in front of friends and family.
"This time, it just feels totally different," Mitton said of going to her second Olympics. "We're preparing more for a medal, and that's just a totally different feeling going into the Games.
