ZURICH — Canadian sprint star Andre De Grasse finished third in the men’s 200 metres Thursday at the Diamond League meet in Zurich.

South Africa’s Sinesipho Dambile was second in 19.82.

De Grasse, 31, was part of Canada’s silver-medal 4×100 relay team at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow earlier this month.
