It's simple math. Brown + Blake + Rodney + De Grasse = Gold.
Canada's men's 4x100m relay team delivered an unforgettable performance at the Paris 2024 Olympics, racing to victory with a time of 37.50 seconds. The team, composed of Aaron Brown, Jerome Blake, Brendon Rodney, and Andre De Grasse, executed their race out of lane 9, culminating in De Grasse's electrifying anchor leg of 8.89 seconds to secure the win. South Africa took silver in 37.57 seconds, and Great Britain claimed the bronze with a time of 37.61 seconds.
This triumph is especially significant for Andre De Grasse, who now ties swimmer Penny Oleksiak as Canada's most decorated Olympian, with seven career Olympic medals. The gold also marks Canada's first Olympic title in the men's 4x100m relay since the legendary 1996 victory.
The Paris win continues the momentum from the team's 2022 World Championships gold and cements their place in Canadian track and field history. The sight of the Canadian flag at Stade de France captured the spirit of a team that has solidified Canada's place among the elite in international sprinting.
