AFCON 2025
Canadian sprint icon Andre De Grasse made an honest admission on the difficulty with winning in this generation compared to Usain Bolt's era, having competed in both sets.
Seven-time Olympic medallist Andre De Grasse has acknowledged that winning today is more challenging compared to Usain Bolt's era, as sprinting has changed significantly.
The Canadian sprint legend, who is one of the few sprinters to compete in both eras, stated categorically that a lot has changed since the Jamaican icon's retirement, and there are now more competitors capable of winning races than a clear favourite.
)
De Grasse, currently in India as the international event ambassador for the landmark 21st edition of the Tata Mumbai Marathon, addressed the media in Mumbai on several topics about his life and inspiration for young runners.

Following Andre De Grasse's recent statement, track legend Usain Bolt registered his response to the Canadian sprinter.
A New Era of Sprinting
As he looks ahead to the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics, De Grasse acknowledged that the landscape of sprinting has changed dramatically.
The era of a single, dominant figure like the 6-foot-5 Bolt has given way to a more competitive and unpredictable field.

"We're all around 5-foot-11, maybe a couple of taller guys, but anybody can win," he noted. "I know back then the fans would just say, 'Bolt's going to win everything.' Now the track is different, the spikes are different. More people are consistently running sub-10 seconds in the 100m and sub-20 in the 200m than before."
Despite the increased competition, the man once tipped as Bolt's successor has proven he can't be counted out, having firmly established his own place among the sport's all-time greats.

Olympic legend Usain Bolt isn't leaving no stones unturned as he transitions into the next phase of his life. More success off track with everyone involved.
LA 2028 Olympics - The Final Dance
De Grasse has revealed his ambition to compete in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, which he intends to be his final Games.
The renowned sprinter secured 100m bronze medals at both the Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 Olympics. However, he was unable to qualify for the 100m final at the Paris 2024 Games.

Should Ferdinand Omanyala have turned down iShowSpeed's race request? Here's all you need to know and why the Kenyan sprinter was right.
With younger elite sprinters in the event, he is determined to re-establish himself as a top contender in the event.
"I want to do one more Olympics—LA 2028. I want to try to get back competitive in 100 meters," De Grasse told reporters.
Despite winning Olympic 200m gold in Tokyo, De Grasse expressed a particular fondness for the shorter sprint.
)
"The 100m is one of my favourite events. I love it more than the 200m, even though I won the 200 meters at the Olympics," he explained. "I want to try to get back competitive in that race and try to get back into finals and bring back some medals again."
"I still have to qualify to try to get there. That's what I'm working hard towards," he added. "I kind of want that to be my final Games, kind of near close to home soil."

De Grasse anchored Canada to Paris 2024 Olympic gold medal in the men's 4x100m relay and is focused on improving his times and setting new personal bests for Los Angeles.
