[@boxertest]

Bolt did name him one of his successors and when the King of Speed recognizes you , you are something special.

[@noahkim7804]

It’s almost comical how he ran a 10.9 in basketball shoes starting sideways

[@LoganLavery]

We Canadians; so proud of Mr De Grasse.

[@HungryTacoBoy]

And he DID win 3 Olympic medals! :D

[@ForTheWhalez]

That's exactly what I thought LMAO

[@MrMan-cl3zc]

FractalBoy No 2 100m - Bronze 200m - Silver 4x100m - 4th

[@josephporter287]

Turboplayzz usa disqualified in the 4x100m degrasse took home a bronze medal from that event

[@MrMan-cl3zc]

Joseph Porter Yea I searched it up after and realised the USA where dq

[@SportZFan4L1fe]

Degrasse needs to train with the Jamaicans.

[@acetofresh1]

Aged immensely well, upset the strong favorites to win the 200m Olympic title with a 19.62 Canadian Record! Again counted out, spoken by many as washed, again upset the field to win the 200m Diamond League 2023 Title with a blistering 19.75! Interesting that the coach who founded him seems to also be of Jamaican descent!

[@toguluhulk5127]

[@chrisjohnson-nq2ko]

[@BobSmith-dt6xs]

[@usainphelps1491]

[@saxyman1365]

This guy ran a slightly illegal 9.75 100m run. At age 22!

[@TheoOJamaloO1]

He was 20 not 22

[@WAYerz]

Noticed he never said, "Aaron Brown" when he was referring to his friend.

[@frankyfresh]

Cause it wasn't Aaron Brown who invited him to run at his first meet. Aaron referred him to USC.
