- I got a blackout during the race.
I thought in advance that I would focus on the acceleration for the first hundred meters and then keep the initiative and when I came out of the curve it felt really good, says doldisen Thomas according to AP.
She then continued on social media.
“I'm going to the Olympics!
I am so grateful to everyone who helped me, especially my coach ", writes 24-year-old Thomas on Instagram and believes that there is more to be gained.
"This is just the beginning," promises Thomas, who has really loosened up this year.
Between 2016 and 2020, she had times between 22.19 and 22.69 as the year's best.
Fraser-Pryce in the form of his life
In Jamaica, 34-year-old Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce showed top class in the national championships at Kingston National Stadium.
She won the 100 meters at 10.71 and then walked for 22 seconds at the 200 meters for the first time when she won at 21.79, just 0.03 ahead of Shericka Jackson.
They are second and third in this year's world best list.
- God is good.
My faith moves me forward and I have never doubted myself.
Everything has to do with time and patience, which made me go for 22 seconds for the first time and really.
I have to thank my coach Reynaldo Walcott for everything, says Fraser-Pryce to Jamaica Gleaner.
Fraser-Pryce, Jamaica's female Usain Bolt, won the 100 meters at the 2008 and 2012 Olympics and was third in 2016. She also has nine World Cup gold medals.
Florence Griffith Joyner holds the world records in the 100 and 200 meters.
She died in 1998 after an epileptic seizure in her sleep when she was only 38 years old.
