Olympic champions Andre De Grasse and Damian Warner, as well as Sarah Mitton are among the 54 athletes selected to represent Team Canada at the World Athletics Championships 2022 to be held at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon from 15-24 July.
De Grasse, the Olympic champion in the men’s 200 meters in Tokyo last summer, hasn’t been in the same form as he was at this point in the season last year, but the 27-year-old will be hoping to reach his at the right time when he lines up in both the 100m and 200m in Oregon.
Wariner, in the meantime, won the decathlon in Tokyo and was the hepthalon champion at the World Indoor Championships in Belgrade, Serbia, in March. Read more: Jamaica names strong World Championships team for Oregon22
