De Grasse wins 100m in Ostrava over training partner and 2021 Olympic champion Jacobs

Buoyed by a strong final 20 metres, Andre De Grasse sprinted to his second victory in three races this outdoor season, clocking a season-best 10.10 seconds in the men's 100 at the 63rd Ostrava Golden Spike on Tuesday.

The Canadian athlete took 1-100th off his previous best to beat Jamaica's Ryiem Forde (10.17) and 2021 Olympic champion Marcell Jacobs (10.19).

De Grasse, 29, also won his 100 season opener in 10.11 on April 27 at the East Coast Relays in Jacksonville, Fla., where he lives.

On May 19, he was second at the Rabat Diamond League in Morocco.

"I feel like I'm still in my prime. I feel like I can still run fast," De Grasse told CBC Sports earlier this year.

De Grasse, who has collected back-to-back Olympic bronze medals in the event, hasn't run under 10 seconds in 19 races since the 2021 Diamond League Final when he placed second (9.89) to American Fred Kerley (9.87).
