Canada Release Track and Field Squad for Paris Olympics 2024: Andre De Grasse and Aaron headline the roster

Athletics Canada has unveiled its team for the Paris Olympics 2024, after the conclusion of trials on June 29. Andre De Grasse, who won the 200m gold at the 2020 Olympics, will lead the field for Canada once again. 200m specialist Aaron Brown has also booked his place in the team; this will be his fourth consecutive Olympics.

De Grasse won the 100m race in 10.20s at the Canada Track and Field Olympic Trials. The 29-year-old has now qualified for his third consecutive Olympic Games. Though he was not part of the 200m competition, De Grasse was given an exemption from the coaches and will be able to defend his Olympic title at the event. He is also a part of the 4x100m relay squad.

The 200m event was won by Aaron Brown at the trials. He won the finals in 20.09s, ahead of Brendon Rodney, who finished second in 20.34s. Brown is also part of the 4x100m relay squad.

Other notable Canadian athletes who qualified for Paris Olympics 2024 include indoor Shot Put world champion Sarah Mitton, 400m hurdles record holder Savannah Sutherland, and 100m record holder Audrey Leduc.
