Canadian Andre De Grasse takes gold in the men's 100 metres at the #PanAmGames.

[@toddb8575]

Congrats! Nice performance.

[@Topscura]

If his starts improve, there's no reason why he couldn't challenge the best sprinters in the world.

[@zynex9250]

He got a gold medal today

[@MrFlex5]

What the hell is he talking about at 2:35? Please replace this guy. SMH.

[@robbietree1920]

"400m dash" haha

[@tekkenfan01]

Robbie Tree 400m is considered a dash, but de grasse doesn't run it, 800m is a dash as well

[@josephbriggs7067]

Shout out 2 Andre De Grasse

[@williamdade7772]

Great run De Grasse - and the so call "expert" in the interview is an A -whole.. making wise cracks about De Grasse on the low.

[@Jescide]

didnt andre start track in 2012? i dont know much about his history

[@anniemaefarris2272]

yes ANDRE DE GRASSE has great talent like the late BARBARA STANWYCK and PAUL NEWMAN that what ANDRE DE GRASSE so great in track and field and DE GRASSE will become a great actor. get ready to see him in these motion picture yes directors and filmmakers?

[@zoans6731]

Cos he came from basketball and young in the sport he doesn't have a good start yet but once he fixes that he's up and rolling

[@jamessflemo]

ahhh and it happens again at tokyo

[@evanakarapetis507]

wheres usain? :')

[@turboplazz]

Call ben johnson to help him with his start and he will kick some world ass!! ;)

[@Will-xx4qs]

I like de grasse but his times are not world or Olympic winning times. Now that lyles and coleman are taking over hes pretty much placing for second. Even tho that's not a bad thing. 2nd fastest in the world. Bit the hype that has build up around him to be the next bolt dosent help

[@andrepinto57]

100th like

[@sirlast1589]

Canada always looking for little attention. This guy will be squashed on the world stage with big names like Usain and Gatlin

[@MrAllister9]

sir last What do you know about Canada?

[@orangepekoee]

sir last Soooo running in a race and winning is just a way to get attention? Would you have said that about any of the other countries if they won the race? lol

[@Merkuleeez]

sir last Gatlin ? Yeah comes back from 2 drug suspensions and running 9.7s at 33 years old . Degrasse is a humble young man not yet reaching his full potential. Hope he proves you wrong.

[@Merkuleeez]

Absolutely right |Haley !

[@normancooper2762]

Julian Antonini Degrasse indeed has a bright future ahead of him and I do like his humble unassuming affect. I hope he can indeed remain grounded. From my vantage point (and I am no sports analyst) I do not see him medal ling in the 100m in Beijing. Sadly, Gatlin (and his drugs) is unbeatable. Asafa Powell seems to be back and the Bolt also seems to be regaining his form, But, let's see what happens on the tracks. But kudos to Degrasse and I wish him well.
