Kishane Thompson is gearing up for a season where he will attempt to dethrone Noah Lyles' self-proclaimed 'fastest man' title.
Jamaican sprint sensation Kishane Thompson has sent a powerful motivational message as he intensifies preparations for his 2025 season, setting his sights on dethroning Noah Lyles.
Thompson narrowly missed out on Olympic gold in Paris, finishing in 9.79 seconds—identical to Lyles’ winning time—but settling for silver.
Despite being the 2024 world leader with his 9.77-second run at the Jamaican Nationals, his lack of international experience due to injuries proved costly. However, the 23-year-old has wasted no time in launching his 2025 campaign.
Thompson made a statement at the World Athletics Indoor Tour Gold meeting in Astana on January 25, winning the men’s 60m in 6.56 seconds.
The previous week, he marked his return to competitive action in Spanish Town with an impressive 6.48-second victory, a personal best despite running into a 2.1m/sec headwind.
With uncertainty surrounding his participation at the World Indoor Championships in China, Thompson has been sharing his mindset and motivation on Instagram (@iamkishane), signaling his determination to reach new heights.
"No matter how hard or impossible it is, never lose sight of your goal," he wrote in one post. In another, he echoed the words of Eleanor Roosevelt: "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."
His latest message carried an even stronger tone: "There’s only one certainty in life. A strong man stands above and conquers all!"
Following his Paris 2024 heartbreak, Thompson vowed not to dwell on regrets but instead use the experience as fuel for growth.
"I wouldn't do anything over. I don't look at it as 'doing it over.' I made a mistake. I have to take it and move on. There's no going back," he admitted to Olympics.com last August.
Despite his limited exposure at the highest level—having only made his Diamond League debut in July 2023 and never competing at a World Championships—Thompson is now laser-focused on securing his first major global title at the World Championships in Tokyo this September.
"I made it here. And to give off one of my best performances, if not my best, I'm really grateful for it," he said of his Olympic silver. "I know my mistakes now. I'm just going to keep on working and doing the best that I can."
As the 2025 season progresses, all eyes will be on Thompson as he seeks to close the gap on Lyles and establish himself as the dominant force in sprinting. With his mindset sharpened and motivation at an all-time high, the Jamaican speedster is ready to take on the world.
