That guy who was running 10.20 two years ago and then magically transformed into a 9.85 guy a year later with dope coach Steven Francis?
Yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised at all.187 -
In case you forget who he is, Thompson is the oft-injured guy who ran 9.91 in the heat of the Jamaican Trails last year but then purposely didn't run the semis and final as they were afraid he'd get hurt. He ended up running quite well after Worlds - 9.85 in Xiamen (2nd) and 9.87 in DL final (4th)

But Rojo, is this good or bad news for Grant Fisher?

Lyles will be lucky to medal in the 100m in Paris if we're being honest

if my couple minutes of research is correct:
the temperature was in the low to mid 80s
the humidity was over 80%
add a 1.0 m/s tailwind and we are talking about extremely fast conditions for sprinters
something to keep in mind

If memory serves, he is the same athlete from last year who we were told wasn't fit or strong enough to navigate rounds. So is he fit and strong enough now?

he's running 9.8 because of that relaxed jamaican way of life. and those magical delicious jamaican yams. so many yams.

Yeah he is untrustworthy. Very possibly gets hurt or just fades during rounds. His teammate Oblique Seville has back-to-back years of running faster in R1 of the global champs than in the Final.

Imo this best sums up the current state of sprinting:

Kishane went from 10.21 to 9.85 in one year. Are we supposed to believe he’s clean?

Flagrantly ignorant post. Scroll up and read some of the other posts. He has two 9.8s to his credit prior to this. He has a history of injury issues. This isn't a 4 tenths immediate improvement like you are implying. Do better.

Wrong. I took the info directly from his World Athletics profile. He went from 10.21 in 2022 to 9.85 last year. Do better.

I'd consider him a glass cannon. He pulled up in his season opener this year as well. But this could be a great Olympic Finals with 3 Jamaicans and 3 Americans plus Tebogo and Omanyala. The good news for Lyles? He will be in 9.7 shape come the Olympics. The bad news? Thompson is already in 9.7 shape and Seville might be as well.

Jacobs might be back in the game too.
