In his statement via twitter and instagram, Andre De Grasse has been injured and is out of London 2017. The rumor began early in morning, and by late evening, on August 2, Jamaican journalist Andre Lowe broke the story, as he confirmed Andre De Grasse’s injury with manager Paul Doyle.
This, of course, very much affects both the 100 meters and 200 meters for men. De Grasse, the three time Rio medalist, was one of Usain Bolt’s prime competitors in the 100 meters, and the 200 meter potential battle between Andre De Grasse and Wayde Van Niekerk was being looked at, with relish, by man of the sport’s fans.
Andre De Grasse showed class in his statement, noted on the Instagram photo shown above. We wish De Grasse a speedy recovery from his hamstring injury. As Andre De Grasse noted, this injury is part of the sport, and he will overcome the challenge. De Grasse also asked his fans to support his fellow team mates on the Canadian team.
RunBlogRun wishes him the very best.
