@DamianWarner is the 2021 Lou Marsh Award winner, given annually to Canada’s best athlete.
An Olympic Gold, National Record and countless moments of awe. Damian, it's been a year.
It's been a few months since Andre De Grasse (@De6rasse) won three medals (including gold!) in Tokyo
We catch up with the sprinter to see what life has been like post-Olympics
Andre De Grasse. History. Personal Best.
Give that man his fourth Olympic medal. He earns bronze with his time of 9.89 in the men's 100-metre final.

Sunday's action!
So @DamianWarner is 187 points up on his 8795 from 2018 through 4 events... I am very excited. And Damian looks very excited too, never seen him with this much exuberance.
Did you know that @DamianWarner set a world decathlon best and a national record in the long jump before you had your breakfast? He leads the men's Hypomeeting Gotzis decathlon after two events. See for yourself: youtu.be/9S9fclNvj9M
