My goal is I’ve got to win three Olympic medals. And, even if he is healthy, American Justin Gatlin is considered the favourite for gold in the 100 metres. The reigning two-time Olympic champion in the 100 and 200 metres is expected to receive a medical exemption and run in Rio. That performance — running blindly in lane eight just 48 hours after winning gold in the 100 metres — is vintage De Grasse. He also broke the Canadian record in the 200 metres that weekend and proceeded to break it again at the 2015 Pan Am Games in 19.88 seconds.
