Aug. 2 was the date Canadian sprinter Andre De Grasse had circled on his calendar. That was to be the night of the men's 100-metre dash final, and De Grasse's opportunity to follow up his bronze medal from Rio 2016 with another piece of hardware in Tokyo at the 2020 Olympic Games.

That quickly changed this week as the new coronavirus pandemic continues to spread globally. On Tuesday, the International Olympic Committee announced its decision to postpone the Games until 2021 - a ruling that came two days after the Canadian Olympic Committee announced that it would not send athletes to the Olympic Games in Tokyo this summer unless the IOC agreed to delay the event.

De Grasse joined Tim & Sid on Tuesday to talk about what has been a stressful time waiting for both committees' decisions.

"I didn't really get much sleep. It definitely was taking a toll on me. I've had a lot of mixed emotions these past couple of days with the decision made by the Canadian Olympic Committee. But at least now, even though it's unfortunate that the Games won't be taking place and I won't be getting a chance to race this year, Aug. 2, on that night, I think that was a great decision," said De Grasse, whose historic performance at Rio 2016 saw him become the first Canadian to medal in all three sprint events. "Our health comes first and we're athletes second. So, I've come to terms with it, I've come to peace with it, and now it's just all about moving forward and figuring out where to go from here and trying to get ready for 2021, I guess."

De Grasse also talked about the mental aspect of the current landscape, both in sports and in the world overall, and how quickly the constant onslaught of updates information can take its toll, mentally.

"Definitely my mental game has been tested a lot through this process, but I've just been trying hard to stay positive and just try to figure out ways how to move forward," he said. "So, definitely today was a good sign that now that we know the Games will be in 2021, that gives me a little bit of ease and peace of mind that now I won't be missing the Games."

Athletes react to Olympics being postponed

# data[].attributes.body
The most part of athletes are a little sad but they understand the situation and they know that it’s the best decision they could made. Some are happy to because they have more training time to get ready. I guess they still training because it would be a big mistake to stop it all. How they train, I guess they are doing jogging, CrossFit, etc. I think the most difficult thing for them, is that they trained very hard all their life to end at Olympic Games but when they are near to it, Covid get out and make them wait another year. In the first 8 months of 2021, I don’t think it would happen because even they found a vaccine against Covid-19 tomorrow, they need to do all the procedures, tests, certification, and a lot more stuff. So, all that would take around 6 to 12 months. But after that step, they need to immuns everyone so around 2 month. So, I think it’s not possible before September 2021.

# data[].attributes.body
All of the athletes are sad that there is not going to be any olympics this year but they also understand that that was the good choice. Health is more important than sport. They cannot train during this pandemic so some of the athletes were nervous to not be in shape in the olympics would have took place. It’s a relief in some kind of way. If I was one of them I wouldn’t be angry about the situation because it would just give me a another year to train and to improve. The most difficult thing for them I think is to try to stay in shape while being at home. There is for sure going to be olympics in 2021 but it might not be in Tokyo.

# data[].attributes.body
The athletes are very mad because they will not have olympic this year but they all understand the situation of the covid-19.This is not bad because all the athletes can train for one more year tombe ready for the next olympic.The healt of the atlethe are very important.

alexandre parent Alexandre Parent .   The canoe guy thinks it's a good descision to cancel this 2021 gigantic event. First, he thinks competing against other atheletes that can't train and prepare themselves like he can furtunatly do is unfair. Second, because the spreading of the virus in the crowd will be badly massive. This man has a lucky chance to continue trainning in river and lake nearby and also mention that this sports is advantageous compore to the other because of the social distancing with other while trainning .He stay relax and not think about all the stressfull stuff going around. But he stay active because of his adhd( he kind of mention ). If I was one of them I would take this long break as a chace to grind. I think there won't be a 2021 olympic, it will be to difficult and stressfull to organise whit all the strict mesure to respect.   Alexandre Parent

Jonathan Nteziyaremye. Some people take this as an opportunity to prepare more and be more ready for the next olympics However, a lot of athlete are disappointed because they’ve worked hard for four years but they understand the situation and they know it's for the best. I guess they are still training because it would be a big mistake to stop it all. The most difficult thing for them is, as I said, the fact that they have been waiting for a whole 4 years and for some even more to get prepared for not that much of minutes or performances. The olympians make sure that they are in shape by working out, running, etc. I don’t think that it is impossible that the Olympics happens in September 2021. I think that they should make sure that all athletes that would participe to the competition are 100% sure that they don’t have the virus. They should also bring no crowd so this way they would reduce the chances that someone catch it.

Vincent Giasson. He feels good. He agree with the Olympic committee he thinks that it is a good idea. Yes, he is still training and he can also respect the social distances because is sports is individual. I would feel sad because all the efforts I put in my training will not serve. I think that the most difficult thing is for the athletes in lockdown to train. I don’t think that there will be in 2021 the Olympic because they said it will take 1 or 2 years to find a vaccine.

Maxime Deschênes

He feels great that the 2020 Olympic are postponed . He thinks that it’s a wise decision to postpone the Olympic. Yes he is still training because he is in a situation that they haven’t gone on a lockdown yet and canoe slalom is a socially distance sport just inherently so he goes on the lake whenever he wants and he doesn’t have anybody near him so it’s just normal for him . If I were one of them I would feel the same way as him like I would think that it’s a good decision and he can practice his sport anyway so it would be nice. In my opinion It’s different for every athlete like one would not be able to practice is sport, another would not be able to go out of his house and another would have problems with his family so it depence. If we found the vaccine, yes, but if we don’t find one, no .

Noémie Lagacé

She feels relieved that the committee has announced the postponement of the game because she really wanted to know. It’s nice for her to be able to connect with other athletes all over the country. Kylie agrees that their decision was the right one because, of course, she wants everyone to stay safe. She has been able to slow down her training a little bit and it’s tough for her to continue because she definitely needs a pool to train and can’t swim without one. If i was one of them, I would definitely be very disappointed, but I’d probably try to be confident and wait to see what the Olympic committee's decision will be for the next years. In my opinion, the most difficult thing for them must be to stay confident that the games will occur next year because it must be hard for them to stay positive that all the training they did all those years wasn’t for nothing. For now, it is still impossible to know for sure if there will be a 2021 Tokyo Olympic, but I think that if the situation is better, it will definitely happen because they can’t let down all the athletes by telling them that they will have to wait longer. Noémie Lagacé

# data[].attributes.body
I this video the athletes feels like it was the right call to postpone the Olympics, but they are still disappointed that it will be reported next year because they have trained a lot, put a lot of time and dedication to their sport but without any competition at the end. They also feel relieved form putting the olympics community at risk and putting them self at risk. Some of them are enjoying this decision because it will let them be better next year because they will have a lot more time to practice. They are also happy that it is postpone than cancelled. If I was one of them I would be more then happy that this decision has been made because I wouldn’t like the fact that the virus would spread because of me and the other athletes. I think that the most difficult thing for them is looking at the fact that they have trained for a
long time but they can’t participate in this year Olympic and that they have to train for an other year. I will hope that there will be a 2021 Olympic because they deserves it and that they have put every thing on the ligne to participate in these games.

# data[].attributes.body
Even though most athletes feel disappointed, they know that this is a good decision because they want to keep the population safe. They still train since most of them said that they have more time to train for next year, as for how, the athletes did not say. If I were in their place, I would feel the same, disappointed but understanding of the decision, I would look at the situation with an optimistic and altruistic point of view. The most difficult thing for them, in my opinion, is probably the fact that they trained very hard all the way up to the games only to have it canceled. There probably will not be a Tokyo 2021 because it takes around a year to make a vaccine and even if a vaccine is found very soon, the health organizations like the FDA (USA), Health Canada (Canada), PMDA (Japan), etc need to regulate the vaccine created, which takes time and can be rejected if deemed not safe, if so, the whole process would restart.

Coralie Bastien

She feel very sad and she cried. She thinks that’s a good thing that they postponed the Olympic, she said that it’s important to the USA and all the world to be save. She is doing workout and training (working her leg, arm and abs) until the gym open. If I was at her place I would have been very sad and mad, but I think it’s a good decision to. I think the most difficult for her will be when she gonna comme back to the gym maybe she will have a lot of work to practice because she will not have done it for a long time. Yes I think that there will have a 2021 Olympic because I think the virus will not still be there.

# data[].attributes.body
First, when she learned the new, she didn’t really know how to feel, so she started to cried, but she realized that it was the good decision to postponed the olympics for the health of all the world, so now  that she understands the decision , she feels more comfortable with it. Yes, she still trains herself with a homeworkout, she trains her body(arms,legs,abs). Her coach face time her at her home to make sure, she stay healthy. I don’t know how i will feel if i was one of them, because i don’t know if it’s good for them that they postponed the olympics for 1 years. She probably feel sad, because she waits for that moment all her life, but at the same time, she knows that she has 1 year again to practice and prepare herself, so i don’t really know. The most difficult thing for them with the crisis now, it’s probably the mental. For the physical part, im pretty sure that their coaches will do a pretty good job, so i think that the mental will be a good challenge. Olympic in 2021? I don’t really know it depend, i mean if the Covid-19 continue it won’t be possible, but if the people do their jobs and the number of cases of the covid stop growing, i think it will be possible to have the event in 2021.

Casey Eichfeld thinks it was a wise decision to postpone the 2020 Olympics because of all the spectators that are present for this event. He also says that it wouldn’t be nice to compete against athletes that don’t have the chance to not be in lockdown like he is and not training while he can because canoe is a social distancing sport. Aaron Mann also thinks it was a good decision to postpone the Olympics. If I were an Olympic athlete I would be mad but I would talk to myself and  say it was a good decision because of what is going on, but not playing a sport would be really difficult. Finally, I think the 2021 Olympics sport are going to happen.

(Océane Simard) Kylie Masse doesn’t know what to think, but she is definitely relieved to that. She approves the decision for her, it was the right decision for us and for the rest of the country. She still train, but it difficult because there is no pool that she can use. She tain out of the pool. I think that the most difficult thing for them is that they were preparing there self for this moment for so long, some of them were preparing there self for four years. I think that maybe they would need to wait one more year because the pandemic start in this country and they would need to be sure that there are no risk for the athletes.

They are all sad that there is not going to be olympics this years but they all understand the situation of right now. They agree with the decision. They aren’t able to train during this moment so they are not sure if they will be ready for the next year. If I was one of them I would be sad to not participate at the olympics this year and to not continue my sport. I think the most difficult thing for them, is to stay in shape even if they are at home. Finally I think there will be a 2021 Tokyo Olympic because it isn’t soon. Louis-Raphaël Vézina

(Emy Laplante )First, she was very sad that the Olympic was postponed, because she worked hard, but she understands the decision of the Olympic committee because it’s more important that everyone is safe and have a good health. Also, Simone was sad because she can’t see a lot her family, but she FaceTime them and do some training to stay fit like she does ABS, arms, legs, go walking with her dog. I think that it's a good thing that the Olympic was canceled and I think if everyone stays at home and respect the rules there will be probably had 2021 Olympic.

When she learned the new she did not know how to react. She immediately starts to cry. She
approuve the decision because  she said that we needed to make sure that everyone is healt and safe. Yes she does some home workout everyday and she does some FaceTime with his coaches. She just try to stay healthy and in shape. She does body workout like ( arms, abs , legs). If I was one of them I won’t know I Would react. For sure I will be sad but I would think that it’s a good decision. I think that the most difficult things for them It will be to return to the gym. They would need to have more practice. I think the Olympic in 2021 won’t happen because they would probably wait a other year to make sure that the Covid-19 is really over.

Nathanyel Ste-Croix
They are a little bit sad but they understand that the Olympic was change to the next year because of this pandemic.
I think the  athletes still training to be in shape and to prepare for the category that they practice at the Olympic. If I was in this situation I will be sad and happy at the same moment because I will do it the next year and that the priority is to be safe. Me I think is to practice in their house to be in shape and ready to 2021. I hope that it will be Olympic next year but it’s not me who decides what the future reserve to us.

# data[].attributes.body
She is relieved that the committee announced the postponement of the Olympic Games, because she was nervous about the final decision. She knows that this was the good decision even if she doesn’t want them to be postponed, because this was the best thing to do to keep the world safe. It’s tough for all the athletes because they have to train very differently with what they have at home. It’s even difficult for the swimmers like Kylie, because they definitely need a pool or they can’t swim. I think the most difficult thing for them was at first to wait for the decision of the committee if the Olympics will be canceled for this year. Now, I think it’s more to wait for if the Games will occur next year, because they are certainly very stressed to know if their 4 years of intense training will be useful. Presently, I think that if the world situation don’t get better in the few coming months, the Olympics won’t occur next year, because they will wait until the most part of the world returning to their normal lifestyle.

Anthony Querry

The slalom canoeist thinks that it’s a responsible decision to postpone the Olympics. He can still train on the lake because it’s a sport that you do alone. I think the most difficult thing for them is that they can’t compete in the sport that they dedicate themselves to. If I were them I would be frustrated but I would understand the decision to postpone it.

It’s a disappointment for most of the athletes who were to compete in the Olympics, but most people are aware that it is to save lives and that it’s the best decision because people’s health  is the priority and there are things bigger than sport.  Also, they see the bright side of things.  They will have more time to train for next year's Olympics

Overall they are doing well. They are for sure unhappy about the fact that the olympique are cancelled, but they approve the dicision due to the global pendemic and that it need to be cure quickly. It’s more fustrating for them  because they trained alot in the past years and that now they need to wait again 1 or 2 years to achieve their main goal. The only « good thing » that they can still do is their training. If I was them, I would for sure be fustated because I dedicated all my life for this event and that’s cancelled, however I understand the fact that sports are not the top priority during the lockdown, but saving life is the top one. -William Desaulniers

(Gabriel Aubé 301)as soon as Simon Biles learned this news she did not know how to react but she understood that it was the right decision to make for athletes but even if the games are in 2021 she still continues to train and speak to her trainer

Raphaël Tremblay-Beaulieu.
She felt bad when she learned the new that the Olympic were not happening this year but she know that it’s the right decision for everyone to stay safe and healthy. She is still training at her home by doing body training because it’s important for her to stay in shape. If I was at their place I would feel really disappointing to have done all this training and hard work for nothing. I think the thing that is the most difficult for them is they can’t show how much they can do and they work really hard all the year for nothing. I think there will be a 2021 Tokyo Olympic because it’s not fair if they don’t postpone it.

# data[].attributes.body
All the athletes understand the situation that the Olympic will be delayed because of the covid-19. They will all be able to train more and be more prepare for next year. But some of them are sad because they were ready, they  train a lot for this event. But saving life is more important then winning a medal.

# data[].attributes.body
Most of the athletes are disappointed because the Olympics are postponed, but happy that it is not cancelled. They approve the decision of the Olympic committee, because they all think that people’s health and saving lives are more important. They have more time to train, so in same time it’s good for them. They are trying to stay in good shape during the pandemic. I think there will be a 2021 Olympics, but maybe not at Tokyo.

Charles Beauchamp.Most of the Olympic athletes are disappointed and sad about the fact that the Olympic Games are being postponed but they really approve  and understand  the decision made by the committee.This will give them an opportunity to train and work harder for next time.If I were one of them I would probably feel exactly like them ,really disapointed. I think the most difficult thing for them most be the fact that they work so hard for this and the event is not going to happen. In my opinion there will be a 2021 Tokyo Olympic because by this time we will probably find a vaccin to the virus.

Mathieu St-Onge
I think every athlete will understand what is happening right now in the world and I can see that most of them are feeling very positive for next year because they have more time to train.What I see in these athletes is that no one is really mad about the situation and I think it is a confidence boost for those who are thinking positive

# data[].attributes.body
In general,both of them are feeling good.Of course they are disappoint by the fact that the Olympics have been canceled.The athletes are understanding this decision that has been taken because of course they are also seeing this several pandemic that progress weeks after weeks.Despite of that,they are still training to keep the shape for the next Olympics.Being at them place,I would be very frustrated because the Olympics are only happening once per four years and it asks alot of time to be ready for it.Finally,I don’t think they’ll have Olympics in 2021 because I don’t think the pandemic will have end up.

# data[].attributes.body
He’s feeling good. Also I think he approves the decision for the Olympic because he know that it’s better if there’s no Olympic and it would be less dangerous. Also, yes they still train but not especially their sport they just need to move and go outside and keep being at their best. For example running and workout like this. If I was one of them I would be sad because the Olympic are really important in an athlete’s life so the fact that I would miss it it would make me sad. The hardest thing for them I think it’s the fact that they know their missing the Olympic and for some of them it was their only chance so they will never have the chance to do it again. And also I don’t think there will be 2021 Olympic because the corona virus will still be alive and it will be dangerous too

# data[].attributes.body
The two of them feel ok with this situation because olympics is a major event with a lot of people and with the problem of the coronavirus, that wouldn’t have been a good decision if the olympics wouldn’t have been reported. They also said that they have a life to live and they just want to play the sports that they love.

# data[].attributes.body
The two athletes thinks that it is a good thing that the Olympique is canceled because some people are stuck at home and cannot train like they should so they dont want to compete against people that are not fully prepare. I think that it’s a good thing too because the Olympique is a event that bring allot of people and will spread even more the virus. So I think it’s a good thin if they wait until 2021.

# data[].attributes.body
The two athletes thinks it’s a good thing that te Olympique is cancelled because most of the athletes are stock at home and cannot practices has they should so and they didn’t want to compete against peoples who aren’t fully prepared. I think it’s a good thing that the Olympique is repotted because it’s a event that brings allot of people and won’t help us to beat the virus.

# data[].attributes.body
Every athlete are a bit sad about the current situation, but they understand that the committee did the right choice by moving it to next year. Some are also happy since they will get a lot more time to get ready for the games! They most likely still train to take advantage of the situation, and to have more time to practice. If they still do train, they most likely find exercises do able at home. If I was in that situation I would be a little frustrated, but I wouldn’t be mad about it instead I would be happy, because they made the right choice for the health of the population. The most difficult thing for them is probably the fact that they trained all year for that sports event, and they don’t even get to show off their hard work. Of course there will be, they wouldn’t let an event as big slip by only because of a virus.

Andre de Grasse haven’t slept a lot in the last week . He had wait almost four years for this moment (olympic) and it all gone. He have trained a lot for almost nothing. He did say he is gonna be ready for 2021. He understands the situation because health come first

Andre is going well,

he is spending time with his family during these tough months. He didn’t get much sleep because, he was overthinking about the mens 100 meters final that was supposed to happen in august. At least now he knows that the Olympics will be in 2021 instead of waiting another four years to compete.

Andre is doing well, he spends time with his family and plays video games. But the past few days have been a little hard for him. He didn’t get a lot of sleep, the decision to maybe cancel the olympics took a toll on him. He respects the decision. In fact he says the health comes first.

# data[].attributes.body
Even if his children are driving him crazy and he did not sleep well for the past few weeks, he is feeling good because he can be with his family. He also respects the decision of the olympic postponement because health is more important then sports. To be prepared for the 2021 olympics, he did not stop his training so he can be in shape for the next year. If I was an olympic athlete I would be happy because it would give me more time for my training because I’m pretty sure there will be a 2021 olympics. Finally, I think the most difficult thing for them is to wait because they were about to do it after a four year’s wait and now they have to wait an other year.

Both of the athletes thinks that postponing the Olympic Games is a wise decision because the event gathers thousands and thousands of people and with this global pandemic it wouldn’t be a smart idea to do it anyway . Casey Eichfeld also thinks that because most of the country’s are on lockdown a lot of athletes won’t be well prepared for the competition even if some sport are practiced alone and isolated . It wouldn’t be worth it to compete against unprepared athletes

He is doing well, he spends time with his family. He hasn’t slept a lot in the past few weeks. He is a little bit disappointed by the postponement of the olympics but he approves it because he says that health comes first. He says he is going to be ready for the 2021 olympics.

Simone Biles

Simone Biles was clearly disappointed that the Olympics were canceled because she had trained for so long for her goal. She said that the Olympic Committee did the right things by cancelling the event. Simone said that she still trains at home by doing strength and flexibility training at home, she always stays in contact with her coach. If a was her a would be very disappointed too because Olympic athletes work so hard for so long that canceling makes it feel like they did it for nothing. The most difficult thing for them is staying focused on their training and health until they can resume their normal training schedule. I think their will be a 2021 Olypics because in a year from now a vaccine will probably have been found and so the Olypics may go on.

Andre had mixed emotions. After the decision, Andre didn’t get a lot of sleep,but day by day he started to feel good by having good time with his children that keep him busy. He approved the decision of the olympic Committee saying that our healt come first. He have stopped the training to be ready if the olympic were removed to 2021. If I was him, I would feel sad, because I would have trained a lot just to gent announce that the onlympic are remove.
