Kishane Thompson Aims for More Improvement After Olympic Silver Medal

Posted : 10 April 2025

Jamaican sprinter Kishane Thompson has expressed his belief that there is significant room for improvement following his unexpected Olympic 100 meters silver medal in Paris last year.

 

The 23-year-old, who was relatively unknown before 2024, narrowly lost to Noah Lyles by just 0.005 seconds in a race that had many broadcasters initially declaring Thompson as the winner. Despite the close finish, Thompson is focused on moving forward rather than dwelling on the near-miss.

 

Reflecting on his performance, Thompson acknowledged that while he could have done certain things differently, there is no benefit in harboring anger over the past. Instead, he prefers to view the experience as a valuable learning opportunity, emphasizing the importance of growth.

 

"It’s forward moving from here," he said, recognizing the year as a successful one, having ended 2024 as the world’s fastest in the 100 meters with a time of 9.77 seconds, set at the Jamaican championships.

 

Thompson considers his Olympic silver medal a major stepping stone in his career, contributing not only to his athletic progress but also to his personal development. He shared his thoughts after a training session at Stadium East in Kingston with his MVP Track and Field Club teammates, including renowned athletes like Shericka Jackson.

 

Under the guidance of his coach, Stephen Francis, Thompson has already made adjustments to his training regimen, incorporating two indoor 60m races earlier this year, including a victory in Astana.

 

Looking ahead, Thompson remains committed to continuous improvement, noting that perfection in his preparations would signal the absence of potential growth. He is not focused on chasing specific times but instead aims to perform the best race possible at each given moment, following his coach’s guidance.

 

With the World Championships in Tokyo on the horizon, Thompson is determined to face Lyles again, setting his sights on achieving the ultimate goal of winning gold.
