More Olympic athletes back on home soil
TORONTO — For the second day in a row, Canadian Olympians returned home from the Rio Olympics to excited crowds of loved ones and fans.
Runner Andre De Grasse of Markham, Ont., who won a silver and two bronze medals, was the first to walk through the arrival gate at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport.
“It’s incredible out here (with) this crowd. I’m loving it,” said De Grasse. “I’m honoured. It feels so good to be a part of this country.”
His mother, Beverley, joined him almost immediately.
