ROME—Canadian sprinter Andre De Grasse blew past the field to post a dominating win in the 200 metres Thursday at the Golden Gala Pietro Mennea meet. De Grasse already took silver behind Bolt at last year’s Rio Olympics, pushing the Jamaican great to his limit in the semifinals. This time, De Grasse’s chief competition came from Olympic bronze medallist Christophe Lemaitre of France, who was the runner-up in 20.29 — several strides behind. I wanted to come home and stay relaxed,” De Grasse said. “My coach told me to just hit it and to bring it home well.”
