Kishane Thompson was handed a shock defeat in his first outdoor race of the season while anchoring an all-Jamaican 4 by 100m relay team in Florida, but Gatlin explained why fans should not be worried about his loss.
American sprint legend Justin Gatlin has explained why fans should not be worried about Kishane Thompson’s season-opening defeat in Florida.
On April 5, Thompson, who clinched silver at the Paris Olympic games in the 100 meters, was anchoring a select all-Jamaican side in a 4 by 100m relay at the Miramar Invitational in Florida.
Things just didn’t go as planned. From the moment the 23-year-old grabbed the baton, Kishane was already trailing behind the Dominicans.

Harambee Stars Technical Bench Gets a Major Boost Ahead of World Cup Qualifiers
Former Kenya Police coach joins Harambee Stars as assistant to Benni McCarthy, boosting technical bench ahead of World Cup qualifiers.
By the time the final whistle was up, the Jamaicans managed just 39.11s as their Caribbean rivals jogged to an easy 38.95s victory.
Thompson and his teammates have come under criticism for their performance especially back home, where Jamaicans view track and field as their holy grail.
However, Gatlin, who won gold in the 100 meters at the 2004 Olympic games, has made a rallying call to concerned fans not to panic over his defeat.
"Fans have to realize that it’s different for professional athletes in track and field. This is the time of the season where athletes are getting their feet wet a little bit,” Gatlin stressed on his Ready Set Go podcast.

Benson Omala Strikes on Return As Gor Mahia Leave It Late to See Off Bandari in FKF Cup Clash
Gor Mahia had to toil for last gasp stoppage time winners to sink Bandari in the FKF Cup.
Gatlin further explained that, given the outdoor season only just started, athletes are usually trying to get up to speed, with fast times at this stage of the season hard to achieve.
“They’ve been training for a while, and they’re trying to see exactly where their top-end speed is, where their strength and endurance are.
“They’re fixing and tweaking everything through the month of April, and then in May, you really start to see them put it together."
"Let’s not be up in arms right now, you know what I mean? Kishane is just coming back into form, he’s putting himself together.”

Top 10 Greatest Goals in Football History
From Lionel Messi's spectacular against Getafe in 2007 to Diego Maradona's stunner against England in 1986, these are the top 10 greatest goals in football history.
Thompson started his season in January by taking part in a couple of 60 meter races. In his first race of 2025, he clocked a blistering 60m time in Spanish Town, Jamaica.
A few weeks later, he went on to win the 60 meter dash at Amin Tuyakov invitational meet Astana, Kazakhstan in a time 6.56 seconds.
An injury prevented him from taking part in the World Indoor Championships, and he never raced again up until last weekend.
Gatlin has asked fans to stay patient in Thompson’s process given the circumstances.
“And once again, it was basically a flying 100 — you can’t expect someone to go out there and catch another guy if they’re not in top shape just yet.
“Let’s hold on a bit. Let that man get himself ready. I guarantee y’all will be cheering and clapping for him come May, June, July."
Meanwhile, Gatlin took time to give the Dominican Republic side their flowers.
" I watched the exchanges around the track — they put it together, bro. They’re really putting it together.
“I love seeing countries, in the last couple of years, who probably didn’t even have a relay team, now come together, sharpen their quartet, and step on the track able to really bang it out there with more established teams. So, shout out to them, man."
As anticipation builds for the World Athletics Relays in May, it remains uncertain whether Thompson will make the Jamaican squad. But if Gatlin's predictions prove true, the young sprinter might just peak at the perfect time.
