“She definitely had me running 300s today,” she added, while referring to what her coach Tonja Buford-Bailey, the former US Olympian, took her through on the day.
Thomas had an incredible 2024 season which saw her win the 200m gold at the Paris Olympics before she went on to claim 4x100m and 4x400m relay titles with her Team USA athletes.
