Canada's Andre De Grasse ties for bronze in 100-metre final at worlds | CTV NewsPublished by
Canada's Andre De Grasse ties for bronze in 100-metre final at worldsPublished by Lori Ewing/The Canadian Press on August 23, 2015 BEIJING -- Andre De Grasse peered at the scoreboard, waiting and wishing, not knowing whether to frown or smile. "So I just stayed straightfaced," De Grasse said, laughing. Several impossibly long moments later, the results popped up: De Grasse had tied for bronze in the 100 metres at the world track and field championships. What the scoreboard didn't say: 20 years old. Just his third year of running track. And the first Canadian to win a medal -- or even make the final -- in track's marquee event since Bruny Surin raced to silver in 1999. Either way, third or fourth, it would have been a remarkable performance in a season packed full of them for the sprint sensation from Markham, Ont. "The future looks bright," De Grasse said. "Next year I can't wait to see what kind of training I'm going to do, and I can only get stronger from here. It's only my third year in track and to be on the podium with these guys, it's incredible right now." Read the full article at: www.ctvnews.ca
