Andre De Grasse was convinced by a friend in his senior year of high school to try track and field, when his school was unable to field a football team. This began a spectacular career for the Scarborough-born track star, a Canadian record-holder and Olympic gold medallist considered the fastest man in Canada. Andre is a perfect 10 out of 10 in receiving medals in Olympic Games finals for the 100m, 200m and relay races. At the 2021 Tokyo Olympics he received a gold medal for the 200m and a bronze medal for the 100m event. A proud father, his Andre De Grasse Family Foundation inspires kids to dream big. Andre has even written a children’s book entitle: “Race with Me.”
