Elaine Thompson will head to the highly anticipated Paris Diamond League tomorrow with a world-leading time she set at the Jamaica Champions on June 23.
Thompson, who has only lost a 200m race so far this season, has run the two fastest 100m times so far this year, 10.71 (+0.8) and 10.78 (-0.3). In her first race, she ran wind-assisted 10.75 (+2,2) at the UTech Classic in Kingston on April 15.
The double Olympic champion’s progression leaves no doubt that she poised to dominate at the IAAF World Championships London 2017 in August. Here’s are videos of Elaine Thompson’s 100m races of the season ahead of tomorrow’s Paris Diamond League starting with her first race:
