If teamwork really does make the dream work, then Canada is dreaming big with the announcement of the 27 athletes representing the maple leaf at the 2024 World Athletics Relays in the Bahamas, May 4 and 5.
“I tend to tell the athletes to reflect on trust. Trust each other out there, because ultimately, whatever lane you’re in, that’s the only lane your focus needs to be on, and there needs to be trust,” said Canada’s head coach Glenroy Gilbert – himself an Olympic champion in the 4×100 metre relay and two-time World Champion in the 4×100 metre relay. “So if you trust one another, you’ve got to go out there and demonstrate that by waiting, by anticipating, by leading each other and making sure you’re taking care of the incoming runner.
Meet Team Canada
The squad representing Canada includes members of the men’s 100 metre relay team that has medalled at each of the last two Olympic Games and won gold at the World Athletics Championships in 2022, in addition to world champions and World Athletics Championships medallists, as well as Olympians and Olympic medallists.
Competing in Nassau at the 2024 World Athletics Relays will be: Aaron Brown, Andre De Grasse, Brendon Rodney, Jerome Blake, Malachi Murray, Duan Asemota, , Audrey Leduc, Sade McCreath, Jacqueline Madogo, Crystal Emmanuel, Donna Ntambue, Marie-Éloïse Leclair, Christopher Morales Williams, Myles Misener-Daley, Jalon White, Michael Roth, Will Floyd, Marco Arop, Ibrahim Ayorinde, Callum Robinson, Kyra Constantine, Zoe Sherar, Aiyanna Stiverne, Lauren Gale, Alyssa Marsh, Brooke Overholt, and Madeline Price.
“The challenge for me is just making sure that we get the order and the right personnel in the right spot on the track, but also that the athletes are able to execute – perform on demand when it counts the most,” Gilbert said.
