“It’s the one I wanted, it’s the hard battle, it’s the amazing opponents,” Noah Lyles said about Kishane Thompson after competing in the Paris Olympics. But what made this race so special? The 100m final in Paris will be remembered for years, almost won by the rising Caribbean star, Kishane Thompson. Lyles won by just five thousandths of a second.

But did Lyles think he’d pulled it off? In a finish that had everyone holding their breath, he thought it might be too late to catch Thompson. Yet the giant screen showed him as the winner, with both runners clocking 9.79 seconds. If the race had been a meter shorter, would Thompson have taken Jamaica’s fourth 100m Olympic title in five Games? Perhaps.

But Lyles timed his dip perfectly, adding Olympic gold to his world title. Now that Lyles has the gold, the question remains: what’s next for Kishane? It could have been an even greater season for Thompson if he’d had the chance to compete in more races.

On the latest episode of the Ready Set Go podcast, titled “Is This the Year of Revenge? Do Noah Lyles, Fred Kerley, and Kishane Thompson Have a Lot to Prove?” hosts Rodney Green, a renowned Bahamian sprinter, and American sprint legend Justin Gatlin, delved into the escalating pressure faced by today’s sprinting stars. Green specifically highlighted Kishane Thompson’s potential, noting that while Thompson ended the previous season with a time of 9.85, he didn’t compete this year. Though rumors

circulated about an injury, Green speculated that Thompson “would have ended his season around 9.79  you know what I mean 9.279 that he would have clipped off in the year”

With more eyes on him than ever, Green questioned how Thompson would adapt to the heightened expectations from himself, his coaches, and Jamaica. He pointed out that it’s easier to perform when no one expects much, but now the stakes are higher, and Thompson will need to meet those challenges head-on.
