Canadian sprinting sensation Andre De Grasse is gearing up to light up the track once again at the Paris 2024 Olympics! 🌟🏃♂️ After snagging the gold in the men's 200m at Tokyo 2021, he's hungry for more and aiming to cement his legacy as one of the all-time greats.
\"Yeah, another Olympic medal to me would, I think, would cement my legacy,\" De Grasse shared with a confident smile. \"You know, having already six Olympic medals, if I can, you know, turn that to seven, eight, or nine, that would be amazing.\"
De Grasse burst onto the Olympic scene in Rio 2016, dazzling fans with a silver in the 200m and bronzes in both the 100m and 4x100m relay. Fast forward to Tokyo 2021, and he upped his game by clinching gold in the 200m, silver in the 4x100m relay, and another bronze in the 100m.
\"I don't think any Canadian has ever done that before, so I feel like that would be an awesome, awesome feat for me,\" he said, reflecting on his achievements. \"Even just to be in good company with other sprinters across the world. So, I mean, yeah, I'm just going to have some fun with it. Enjoy the moment. I'm not going to put too much pressure on myself to make that happen, but obviously, that's the goal. That's the mission at hand.\"
With his eyes set on Paris, De Grasse is all about embracing the journey and inspiring fans worldwide. Canada, after all, celebrated a haul of seven golds, seven silvers, and ten bronzes at the Tokyo Games. Who's ready to cheer him on for even more? 🇨🇦🎉
