Gabby Thomas, who dethroned Sha’Carri Richardson, writes an emotional message following a significant milestone.
Do you recall when Gabby Thomas won her first Olympic gold at the Stade de France, shocking everyone? During the Tokyo Olympics, the sprinter had to be content with a bronze medal in the 200-meter event. However, she thought Paris would change everything for her. That was actually the original plan. At the French capital, the 27-year-old competed in three different events this time: the 200-, 4×100-, and 4×400-meter relays. She had a great time on the famous purple tracks, boy.
In addition to winning the Olympic 200-meter title, the athlete won two other gold medals in the other two competitions. She was able to successfully end her idyllic stay in Paris with this. But that’s not all she’s accomplished. In addition, she became the fifth female track and field athlete to win three medals in one Olympics. Allyson Felix, her favorite track & field athlete, used to hold this championship. Now that the 2024 season is over, she achieved an amazing milestone to cap it off. What might it be?
There’s nothing better than completing a gold sweep on the world’s grandest stage. Gabby Thomas would agree. But as the dust settles on her thrilling time in the French capital, the USATF has bestowed the sprinter with the 2024 Jackie Joyner-Kersee Athlete of the Year Award. Ecstatic, the 27-year-old shared the news with fans on X with a heartfelt caption, What could have led to this incredible moment?
