CANADA vs CHINA TEAM SPRINT CHALLENGE
Tuesday 26 June and Wednesday 27 June, 2018
Swangard Stadium, Burnaby, BC
This year’s Vancouver Sun Harry Jerome International Track Classic will see the annual event be run for a 35th year and to celebrate, will be held over two days for the first time. The expanded format of one of Canada’s premier track and field events will pit some of the country’s best athletes against one another and will also include Canada’s national sprint team taking on the fastest men and women from China in a unique Team Sprint Challenge.
The Team Sprint Challenge will be a ten-event
contest which includes the 100m, 200m, 400m, 4x100m and 4x400m for both men and
women during the annual Vancouver Sun Harry Jerome International Track Classic
at the newly renovated track at Swangard Stadium on the evening of Tuesday 26
June and Wednesday 27 June 2018.
Negotiations are under way with
medal-winning sprinter,
Andre de Grasse, to return to compete with his Canadian
colours at the Team Sprint Challenge during the Vancouver Sun Harry Jerome
International Track Classic.
Andre De Grasse
used last year’s Jerome meet as a tune-up for the London World Championships.
Days before the showdown with Usain Bolt, his plans were grounded with a major
hamstring injury to end the 2017 season. De Grasse won a silver medal in the
200-metres and bronze in both the 100 and 400-metre relays at the Rio Olympic
Games in 2016.
The Harry Jerome
International Track Classic is Canada's longest running track and field event.
In its 34-year history, world and Olympic champions, world record holders,
Canadian stars and young hopefuls have thrilled spectators, achieved personal
bests and, thanks to the vision and dedication of the Achilles International
Track and Field Society, continued in their quest to become Faster, Higher and
Stronger.
The Vancouver Sun
Harry Jerome International Track Classic is hosted by the
Achilles International Track and Field Society,
a non-profit society registered in British Columbia. Net proceeds from this
event support track and field competition in BC.
