Andre De Grasse already talking gold in Tokyo as Rio Games come to an end

Sprinting is a game of milliseconds, where the blink of an eye can make or break your trip to the podium. Andre De Grasse made that trip three times in Rio de Janeiro, winning a silver and two bronze medals at his first Summer Games. But unfortunately, the Canadian track sensation would have to wait for his first Olympic gold.

De Grasse has four long years of intense training and thoughtful reflection to prepare himself for Tokyo 2020. Yet just a few days after winning the bronze medal in the men's 4x100-metre relay, De Grasse seems to understand what he needs to do in order to capture that elusive gold medal.

The Markham, Ont., native took some time from his post-Olympic celebration to hang out with Yahoo Canada Sports' Olympics expert Karina LeBlanc. The latter, a bronze medallist herself with the 2012 Canadian women's national soccer team, is certainly no stranger to competition.

So as the two took their talents to the foosball table, De Grasse took a moment to expound on his future. How does it feel to be an Olympic medallist? How will his life change? And most importantly for De Grasse, what will it take to reach the top of the podium in 2020?
