Sprint sensation Andre De Grasse remembers his first race

From lightning Bolt, to Grasse'd lightning

Andre de Grasse, named by Usain Bolt as the successor to his sprinting throne, spoke with AS Chile about his career, his future targets and who he thinks can take over the mantle from the Jamaican.

In Chile the Canadian has been giving sports clinics to youngsters and was quick to point out that he was well aware of the country's obsession with football. The clinics are proving a great way for him to give something back following his success.

Andre talks about his first race, which he will never forget. It was a big university meet but as he was actually a basketball player and not a runner his clothing reflected this...right up to the big Converse shoes.
