Andre De Grasse is looking to Tokyo to improve his medal position. Lots of work to do, and lots of focus needed.

OTTAWA (CAN): Canada’s Andre De Grasse is focused on trying to improve on his Olympic silver from 2016 when he lines up in Rio next year. “I’ve had experience with winning bronze and silver at the biggest stage, and I want to give myself an opportunity to win a gold medal,” De Grasse told TSN. “My first goal is just to run fast and have a personal best. Then it’s to try to break the Canadian record and, in the process, try to win a gold medal. Those are my main objectives.”

Finding a balance is integral to any athlete’s success and that’s no different for @De6rasse.
