Kishane Thompson: 5 things to know about the world's fastest man in 2024
Discover five key facts about Kishane Thompson, the world's fastest man in 2024 and Olympic 100m silver medallist.
The men’s 100m world record stands at 9.58 seconds and was set by Usain Bolt at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin, Germany.
“To go faster or to get faster results, it’s a matter of me executing…you know I’ve been using that phrase for a while now and it’s going to be a phrase I’ll stick to because if I don’t execute, the results won’t come,” Kishane Thompson said.
“If I can’t manoeuvre what I practice, and put it all together, it doesn’t make sense I think about anything like fast times or whatever. Those are the extensions of execution…if I execute, times, medals, records, whatsoever you want to call it, will come,” he added.

Kishane Thompson sets ultimate career target beyond winning medals
Amidst the many setbacks Thompson has been through over his career, he has now revealed what he wants to achieve for the rest of his career, and it is not medalling.
Meanwhile, Kishane Thompson has showcased great improvements this season but injuries forced him to race sparingly and ended his season after the Paris Olympic Games.
Thompson opened his season at the JAAA Olympic French Foray 1 but failed to finish the race before proceeding to the Jamaican Olympic trials where he claimed top honours in the men’s 100m, maintaining great form from the heats to the final. He clocked a world-leading time of 9.77 seconds and ended the season as the fastest man in the world.
Kishane Thompson then raced at the Gyulai Istvan Memorial, a Hungarian Athletics Grand Prix where he beat Letsile Tebogo and Akani Simbine to second and third places respectively. He then went to the Paris Olympic Games, scooping the silver medal in the men’s 100m race.
