Event a tuneup for nationals later this month in Montreal
Public-address announcer Paul O’Callaghan set the tone for the evening Wednesday at Centennial Stadium, after the opening playing of O Canada, by intoning to the crowd: “Let’s hope we listen to that a lot more this summer from Paris.”
“It’s always fun to go fast. I want more. I’m ready for more,” said Stafford, semifinalist in the 1,500 metres at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. DeBues-Stafford was an impressive fifth in the women’s 1,500 metres at the Tokyo Olympics after placing sixth at the 2019 world championships in Doha. She is getting over a series of setbacks and has targeted the 5,000 metres for the Paris Olympics.
Don’t count her count, said her sister Lucia: “I know Gabriela will be back in no time. She’s got that Stafford fire in her and you can’t extinguish it.”
