TORONTO (Reuters) - Andre De Grasse is eager to return stronger from a season-ending hamstring injury that deprived him of a showdown with Usain Bolt and is now focused on breaking the Canadian 100 metres record.

The 22-year-old triple Olympic sprint medallist, who was expected to be Bolt's main rival for his 100m crown in the Jamaican's farewell championship in London, begins training next week for a campaign that will come with lofty expectations.
