\u0027There was one time in particular where I thought I was probably going to get fired,\u0027 Glenroy Gilbert admits
Then, last weekend, Team Canada won relay gold for the first time in a quarter-century at the 2022 Track and Field World Championships in Eugene, Oregon., where he is a commentator and analyst.
Through his many ups and downs, Gilbert, age 53, has remained humble; he says the hardships are only a part of his journey. Glenroy Gilbert, who won gold as a member of the legendary 1990s Team Canada 4×100 relay squad, struck gold again on July 23, 2022, this time as coach of Canada’s relay team.Gilbert has worked with the same core of runners since 2016 — Brown, Rodney, and De Grasse — and Gilbert says that built character among the group, and offered them the experience to perform at the highest level.
It’s been a long race for Gilbert, and he’s looking to what’s next. He says he’s always watching the next generation of Canadian runners.
