Andre De Grasse after winning gold with the relay team:. “It was all on these guys right here, they did the work… all I had to do was just high-step it and bring it home.”. De Grasse has to be the most humble 100m sprinter of all-time. He ran the final leg in 8.89 seconds.

I don't know if I can remember a more shocking gold medal by Canada in such a high-profile Olympic event. None of their runners made the 100m final. They're all getting up in age (by sprinter standards). De Grasse had a nagging hamstring injury. And STILL they win gold.

I think I have this right. Most hardcore hockey fans in Canada are not cheering for the Oilers (other than Oilers fans, obviously). But. Most casual hockey fans in Canada are cheering for the Oilers because they want a Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup. Agree?.
