De Grasse, Blake, and Brown tipped to dominate the Canadian Track and Field Championships 2025
What can we expect from the Canadian Track and Field Championships 2025? Some exciting sprint races, going by the form of some of the nation’s leading lights.
De Grasse is entered in the men’s 100m and 200m. He has had some decent buildup in the run-up to the championships, competing across both events. De Grasse was third at the Diamond League 200m race in Oslo behind the winner, Cuban Reynier Mena, and finished sixth in his last race over the shorter sprint in Turku last month.
Blake is also one to watch in the 100m after blazing to a personal best of 9.97 seconds in Dessau in June. Can he finally show up and beat his Paris 2024 Olympics 4x100m gold medal-winning teammates?
He is expected to also be in contention for the 200m, which will also include Brown, who insists that he “knows how to win” when it counts.
Away from the sprints, Arop, who feels “he is in the best shape of his life right now,” will be chasing another men’s 800m national title.
Paris 2024 gold medallists Ethan Katzberg and Camryn Rogers will also be on parade in the men’s and women’s hammer throw events, respectively.
