With the help of winds blowing 4.8 meters per second, 22-year-old Canadian sprinter Andre De Grasse finished first in the 100m race at the Stockholm Diamond League.
His winning time of 9.69 seconds would have broken the current Canadian record of 9.84 if the winds had not been well over the legal limit of 2.0.
De Grasse won a silver in the 200m and bronzes in the 100m and 4×100 relay at the 2016 Rio Olympics. His 100m time in Rio, which saw him finish behind Jamaica’s Usain Bolt and the U.S.’ Justin Gatlin, was a personal best of 9.
