American hurdler Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone narrates her emotional journey of heartbreak, self-doubt, and rediscovery, sharing how a painful rejection shaped her path toward inner growth and newfound purpose in life.
“My goal for the Olympics is to of course win the gold medal, and I will put myself out there to do that. My biggest rival is Noah Lyles. He is the world champion. I won’t be intimidated…man, that hypes me up," Kishane Thompson said.
Eventually, the race was won by Noah Lyles who clocked 9.79 seconds, milliseconds ahead of Kishane Thompson who clocked the same time to finish second. Fred Kerley rounded up the podium in 9.81 seconds.
Speaking after the race, the Jamaican sprint king revealed that he never trusted in his abilities well enough and did not execute as he had agreed with his coach. However, once he works on that, Kishane Thompson will be lethal.
He has suffered a series of injury setbacks that have locked him out of major competitions and the Paris Olympic Games were actually his first major competition. He also competed sparingly this season and had to withdraw from a series of Diamond League Meetings after the Olympic Games due to an injury.
“The second thing is I need to understand that the last part of the race is the most complicated, and the third is when it’s such a close final, I have to big up myself even more,” he added.
Kishane Thompson opened his season at the JAAA Olympic French Foray 1 but failed to finish the race. He proceeded to the Jamaican Olympic trials where he claimed the win in a world leading time of 9.77 seconds.
