'I will be back'- Elaine Thompson-Herah declares after injury locks her out of Paris 2024 Olympics
The fastest woman alive has promised to fight and make a strong comeback after revealing that she will miss the Olympic Games due to an injury.
“I don’t think Elaine has resigned…I think Elaine’s body cannot hold up to most of 99.9% of the coaches in Jamaica because they rely on a lot on natural vs mechanical. Elaine’s body cannot be with those kinds of things,” Coach Francis told Nationwide90 FM.
“If she were to ask me what she should do, I would tell her to go somewhere in the states and train because I don’t think that she is going to be able to survive using the methods which they use out here to try and get her to top speed,” he added.
The coach added that if she would return to the MVP track club, it would be tough for her to fit in but he would be glad to accommodate her.
Coach Francis, who is also Kishane Thompson’s tactician, empathised with Thompson-Herah, explaining that he worked with her for over five years and seeing her go through the challenges breaks his heart.
At the moment, the MVP Track Club comprises young girls and boys who are curving their way through to the top.
“She can’t fit in at MVP because there is too much talent right now which is a priority but that is what I would tell her,” he said.
