Canadian sprinter Andre De Grasse returns from injury, finishes second in the 200-metre race at the Grenada Invitational.

Meanwhile, fellow Canadian Aaron Brown also competed at the event and finished second in the 100m race. Brown clocked in at 10.13, behind Adam Gimili of Great Britain at 10.11. American Christopher Belcher ran 10.14 for third.

De Grasse, who strained his hamstring at the 2017 world championships and then again at last year's Canadian championship, passed his first test unscathed by racing two relays for Canada last weekend in Florida.

If there were nerves about racing at the Florida Relays last weekend, he erased them by anchoring Canada's 4x100-metre relay to victory. He followed it up by running a leg on Canada's 4x200 relay, which also won gold.

"I'm happy and in a good place, and looking forward to see how I do when I open up the season [in Grenada]," he said on Thursday.

De Grasse won silver in the men's 200 at the 2016 Rio Olympics. He also earned bronze in the 100 and was a part of Canada's third-place 4x100 men's relay team.
