I never thought that opportunity would ever come, you know, because of course being in track and field, we never get a chance to really go to the opening ceremony. So I mean, I\u2019m excited just to even go and now to be the flag bearer for the country!

His 200m gold medal finish at Tokyo 2020 was the first Canadian Olympic gold on the track in 25 years, and the first in the 200m in 93 years.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_119903\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-119903\" style=\"width: 788px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-119903 size-large lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/runningmagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/DeGrasse_Andre-Q1-Bahamas24-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Andre De Grasse\" width=\"788\" height=\"591\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/runningmagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/DeGrasse_Andre-Q1-Bahamas24-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/runningmagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/DeGrasse_Andre-Q1-Bahamas24-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/runningmagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/DeGrasse_Andre-Q1-Bahamas24-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/runningmagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/DeGrasse_Andre-Q1-Bahamas24-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/runningmagazine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/DeGrasse_Andre-Q1-Bahamas24.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 788px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 788\/591;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-119903\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Andre De Grasse in the men&#8217;s 4x100m relay at the 2024 World Athletics Relays in The Bahamas.
