Thompson-Herah and her Jamaican teammates swept the medal stand over the weekend in the women’s 100-meter final. Thompson-Herah picked up the gold medal, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce got the silver and Shericka Jackson won the bronze medal.
Thompson-Herah would win the gold in the 200-meter over Namibia’s Christine Mboma and the United States’ Gabrielle Thomas.
The 29-year-old has five Olympic medals to her credit. She won gold medals in the 100-meter and 200-meter sprints and a silver in the 4x400-meter relay at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games.
