The men’s team of Andre De Grasse, Aaron Brown, Brendon Rodney, and Jerome Blake finished second in their heat to qualify for Sunday’s final, but more importantly for them, clinch a spot at the world championships in Tokyo.

De Grasse told CBC Sports ahead of Saturday’s race that this weekend was all about getting the team to worlds.

“The main objective for us [is to] make sure that we qualify … so that we are at the world championships when it matters,” De Grasse said.

CBC Sports spoke to Canadian sprinter Andre De Grasse ahead of the world athletic relays in China, about what the team is hoping to accomplish, and how they’re trying to be the best relay team in Canadian history.

That automatic qualification was in doubt for the reigning Olympic champions until De Grasse lifted his team in the anchor leg.The Markham, Ont., native held off Australia and the Netherlands to cross the line in 38.15 seconds and secure second place behind Japan (37.84).

It was a similar story for the Canadian women’s 4x100m team. Thanks to a blazing-fast anchor leg, Sade McCreath, Marie-Éloise Leclair, Catherine Léger, and Audrey Leduc secured their spot in Tokyo.
