In 2019, he focused on improving the last 50 metres of his races. This came after finishing fourth in the 200m final at the 2018 Diamond League meet in Zurich, Switzerland. He aimed to surpass his personal best of 19.90 seconds to secure a podium finish at the 2020 Olympics.

His training involved intense mental preparation. He stated that fatigue starts in the brain before it affects the body. This mindset helped him push through physical barriers during races.

Personal Life and Education

He resides in Orlando with his wife Preeya. He completed higher education in Business and Political Science at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. Fluent in English, he enjoys hobbies like playing basketball, piano, travelling, listening to music, art, and collecting shoes.

Injuries and Challenges

In August 2019, he injured a muscle in his right hip flexor. Earlier, in 2011, he suffered a hamstring injury. Despite these setbacks, he continued to train and compete at high levels.

Rivalries and Motivations

He has a healthy rivalry with fellow Canadian sprinters like Andre De Grasse and Brendon Rodney. He particularly enjoys competing against De Grasse, whom he beat in the 100m at the 2019 Canadian Championships. This rivalry motivates him to prove himself on the world stage.

He was disqualified for a lane violation during the 200m heat at the 2017 World Championships in London. This disqualification was a significant setback as it happened during what would have been a season-best time of 20.08 seconds.

Awards and Ambitions

He was named the 2009 Outstanding Youth Athlete of the Year by Athletics Canada. His ambition is to win a medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

Philosophy and Beliefs

He collects mascot dolls from meets he competes at. His sporting philosophy is to maximise his potential and achieve everything possible from the sport. He draws inspiration from US basketball player LeBron James.

Reflecting on his journey, he said, "Every day, when I'm lining up at practice with some of the fastest guys in the world, I'm saying, 'Look how far you've come. Why can't you be even better?' Because when I hang it up and I'm done, I want to look back and say, 'I maximised my potential.'" His determination continues to drive him towards new goals.
