Defending champion Thompson-Herah to miss 200m at Paris Olympics

SPORTS 19.06.2024

Elaine Thompson-Herah will not attempt a triple Olympic sprint double at next month's Paris Games after not registering for the 200m at the Jamaican national championships.

Text size:

The 31-year-old won both 100m and 200m golds at the 2016 Rio Olympics and the Covid-delayed 2021 Tokyo Games.

Registration for the June 27-30 national trials in Kingston closed on Monday, with entries listed on the Jamaican federation's website, and Thompson-Herah is only competing in the 100m.

In her most recent outing earlier this month, in New York, Thompson-Herah trailed home last and was later carried away from the track with what reports in Jamaican media said was an Achilles injury.

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, however, is registered for both sprints.

Fraser-Pryce, 37, won Olympic 100m golds in 2008 and 2012 and has also bagged five world titles in the blue riband event as part of her 16-medal haul at championships since Berlin in 2009.
