“I had an easy time watching the entire competition — until the high jump, I struggled a little bit watching the high jump, especially because it wasn’t a very strong competition overall,” Drouin said. Derek Drouin was back home in Toronto nursing an Achilles injury when the high jump event played out at the world championships last summer in London. “I think, like a lot of athletes, I had toyed with the thought of: I’ve won the Olympics, should I retire? Drouin had a small tear in his Achilles, which was particularly painful because it sat right on his heel bone. Drouin is back training, although his Achilles isn’t quite back to 100 per cent.
