No Canadian showdown: De Grasse pulls out from 100m Diamond League race with injury | CBC Sports
So much for the Canadian battle in the men’s 100 metres in Stockholm.
The two Toronto natives competed in the 200m event on Friday in Lausanne, Switzerland, when Brown came out on top, but their next clash in Diamond League will have to wait.
Brown finished fifth in Sunday’s race with a time of 10.27 seconds, powering through the wet conditions at the Olympic Stadium.
South Africa’s Akani Simbine took the victory, crossing the line in 10.03. Reece Prescott of the U.K. finished second while Germany’s Joshua Hartman rounded out the podium.
