Speedy Canadian ready to step from shadows

While the people who run track and field are dreading the day Usain Bolt leaves their stage, Canadian Andre de Grasse must be licking his lips at the prospect, having emerged as the man most likely to fill the void.

De Grasse chased Bolt home for silver in Thursday's 200m final after taking bronze in the 100m last weekend.

With 34-year-old Justin Gatlin of the US, who edged him in the 100m, due for retirement and with Bolt, who turns 30 on Sunday, likely to hang up his spikes after next year's world championships, De Grasse, 21, looks ready to step out of their shadows.
