Elaine Thompson-Herah, Florence Griffith-Joyner, and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce have done well in their careers, such as having multiple records and medals at the Olympics or World Championships level, which now makes them frontiers on the GOAT list.
The Jamaican won 100m, 200m and 4x100m gold at Tokyo 2020 after winning 100m and 200m gold at Rio 2016 Olympics.
She is the second-fastest woman in history over 100m with her 10.54 only battered by American Florence Griffith-Joyner, popularly known as Flo-Jo, who clocked 10.49 seconds in 1988.
Thompson-Herah dominated women's sprinting at the previous two Olympic Games but failed to qualify for this year's World Championships in Budapest following an injury-ravaged season.
