Kishane Thompson won Jamaica's 100m national championship in 9.77 seconds, setting himself up as a threat to join his country's greatest sprinter, Usain Bolt, as an Olympic champion next month.
Thompson's time of 9.77 was the fastest since American Fred Kerley won the 2022 world championships in 9.76, making Thompson the fourth-fastest Jamaican in history behind Bolt, Yohan Blake, and Asafa Powell.
I am not sure how fast I can go, but the time did not surprise me tonight, Thompson said in response to his impressive 9.77-second victory at the Jamaican national championship.
