For the first time in his career, Andre de Grasse will not take home a medal from an Olympic event.

De Grasse ran a season best 9.98 seconds in the third and final semifinal heat, but finished in fifth place. It was not enough to advance to the finals, which take place later Sunday.

De Grasse, at 29 years old, came into these Games as Canada’s second-most decorated summer Olympic medallist behind swimmer Penny Oleksiak. With six Olympic medals — in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay in each of the 2016 and 2020 Games — he was vocal about his intention to continue climbing the medal leaderboard. “I’m going to try and add to that legacy, try and turn six medals into nine,” he told Postmedia in June.
