Elaine Thompson-Herah

Completed back-to-back 100m/200m Olympic doubles.

At Tokyo 2021, Elaine Thompson-Herah ran 10.61 seconds in the 100m final and 21.53 seconds in the 200m final — the second-fastest women's 200m in history — becoming the only woman ever to win the Olympic sprint double at two consecutive Games.. She competed for Jamaica from 2014. At Tokyo 2021 she ran 10.61 seconds in the 100m final and 21.53 seconds in the 200m — the latter the second-fastest women's 200m in history, behind only Florence Griffith-Joyner's 1988 world record of 21.34. Her personal best of 10.54 seconds for 100m makes her the second-fastest woman in history. She won 5 Olympic gold medals across 2 Games. She won the World Championship 100m title in Eugene 2022. She was IAAF Female Athlete of the Year in 2021. Her dominance of women's sprinting from 2016 to 2022 — during which time she won every major championship 100m she entered — places her alongside the finest female sprinters in history. Her combination of explosive start, powerful acceleration and upright running style is technically distinctive from Jamaica's sprinting tradition.
