With the obvious focus being the Tokyo Olympics we have made the decision to pass on the World Relays this year. I have a baby due in early May and wouldn’t want to risk being overseas when the baby arrives, De Grasse said in a statement. I wish the best for my teammates and for all involved in the event.
Aaron Brown and Crystal Emmanuel headline the Canadian team for the event May 1-2 in Chorzow. I know going into the championship that Glenroy (Gilbert), our head coach, will convey the message of qualifying for Tokyo before anything else, said Brown, who ll race the men s 4x100-metre relay. As one of the veteran leaders on this team, I echo that sentiment.
