Loss of injured Andre De Grasse is a big blow to Canadian track fans, team
LONDON — World medals. One last shot at Usain Bolt. Perhaps a Canadian record.
A world championships that had held so much promise for Andre De Grasse went up in smoke during a light 60-metre run on Monday night.
And on the eve of the opening round of the 100 metres, De Grasse’s coach Stuart McMillan talked about the opportunities lost.
“I think when (the meet) actually gets going and Andre sees the final and sees those eight guys lining up and he’s not one of them, I think that’s when it’s really going to hit home,” McMillan said Thursday.
