Paris-St-Denis 24 | Olympic Games | World Athletics
Olympic champions Andre De Grasse and Damian Warner are among the athletes named on the team to represent Canada at the Paris Olympic Games from 1-11 August.
De Grasse has been selected for the 100m, 200m and 4x100m, disciplines in which he has claimed six medals – including 200m gold in Tokyo – at the past two editions of the Olympic Games. Warner returns to defend the decathlon title he won with an Olympic record score of 9018 points, following his bronze medal win in Rio.
They will be joined by their fellow global gold medallists Marco Arop (800m), Ethan Katzberg (hammer), Pierce LePage (decathlon) and Camryn Rogers (hammer), who won at last year’s World Athletics Championships in Budapest, plus Sarah Mitton (shot put), who claimed a world indoor crown in Glasgow in March.
Between them, Canada’s team members have a combined 15 Olympic medals and 36 World Athletics Championships or World Athletics Relays medals.
Alongside these established stars, the team features several athletes making their Olympic debuts in Paris, including sprinters Audrey Leduc and Christopher Morales Williams.
Further athletes may be added to the team following qualification through World Rankings.
