Andre De Grasse

“Always have fun and do what you love.”

“Just have fun and don’t take it too seriously, I got a silver medal having fun. (Young athletes) can do the exact same thing if they just continue to work hard and have fun.”

“I love competing against (Bolt); it’s an honour to be part of history with him and what he’s accomplished, But overall, you know, if his time is up, then I guess a new person has to come in there.”

“I felt like I had a great shot (at gold), I’m not sure if I used up too much energy yesterday and didn’t have anything left today.”

“He was just saying it was unnecessary, He told me, ‘You’re going to learn from that, you’re young’—and I guess I did pay for it (in the final).”

“I’m a little bit disappointed, I think I could have ran a little bit faster,(In the semifinals) I ran a personal best, having fun.”
