In 2014, Gavin competed at his first World Indoor Championships, making the 60m semi final. That summer he won his first Canadian title, taking gold in the 100m event. At the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, he was a finalist in the 200m. In May 2018, at the age of 31, Smellie ran the fastest 100m dash of his career and his time of 10.01 seconds was the fastest by a Canadian all season.
