Growing up watching the Olympics, I loved track and field and wanted to be in this moment, so it is a good feeling,” Thompson reflected. “I haven’t replied to everyone, but the love and support has been massive. Even before I medalled, it was phenomenal, so I am grateful.”

Jamaican legend jumps to Elaine Thompson-Herah's defense following Ato Boldon's comments on her career
The Jamaican sprint legend pointed out that he has lost a lot of respect for Trinidanian former sprinter and politician Ato Boldon following 'demeaning' remarks he made about Elaine Thompson-Herah.
“Leading to this particular moment has been phenomenal. Usain Bolt has set the standards that we can push each other to achieve more, but it has been very good,” Thompson acknowledged. “So far, I would say I am just looking forward to finishing my season and going out with a bang.”
As he looks ahead, Thompson emphasized the importance of execution in achieving faster times on the track.
“To get faster results is a matter of me executing. I have been using that phrase for a while now and will maintain it because if I do not maneuver what I practiced and put it all together, it does not make sense if I think about fast times whatsoever. Those are extensions of the executions,” he explained.
With a silver medal from his Olympic debut and a promising career ahead, Kishane Thompson is poised to continue carrying the torch for Jamaican sprinting, striving to build on the legacy left by the greats who came before him.
