Andre De Grasse Leads Team Canada to Gold in the Men’s 4×100 at the Paris 2024 Olympics
Witness the electrifying moment Andre De Grasse anchored Canada’s 4x100m relay team to a stunning gold medal finish at the 2024 Paris Olympics. After a challenging Games where he battled a hamstring injury, causing him to miss the podium in the 100m and 200m, this race was a defining moment of resilience. De Grasse ran a blistering final leg, pulling the team—which also included Aaron Brown, Jerome Blake, and Brendon Rodney—from third to first in a stunning victory from the outside lane. This win cemented his status as a Canadian icon, earning him his seventh Olympic medal and tying him as Canada’s most decorated Olympian of all time.

Briefing Tips to Maximize Impact
When booking olympians for keynotes—or any talent—share these items before the prep call:
- Audience roles and top challenges
- Three outcomes you want attendees to act on
- Format (keynote, fireside, panel/host) and whether you want Q&A
- One success metric that would prove the session worked (e.g., pipeline lift, program signups, culture KPI)
- Any sensitivities to avoid and internal language/acronyms to use
For fireside chats/panels, provide 6–8 seed questions and confirm who will moderate. For virtual, assign a producer to curate chat and keep the clock.
