Not slowing down: Andre De Grasse competing at Grand Slam Track in Miami, has eyes on L.A. 2028

One of Canada's most decorated Olympians isn't ready to stop competing at the Summer Games.

In an interview with CBC Sports ahead of this weekend's Grand Slam Track Miami event, Andre De Grasse said he intends on running at L.A. 2028.
