and we haven't seen her much so far in this 2022 season, that's
right. And at just 22 years old, this young Superstar was
thrust into the Limelight after a spectacular performance at
the Olympic
trials. She became a social media sensation Auto. She was in
working with Kanye West, the late Virgil table,
but also deal with a lot off the track. She lost her mother
and also receive the one-month band for testing positive for
marijuana, so I just wonder on a where is her head. How does
she rebound? How does she deal with everything that she has
going on
to be able to step on the track? I perform at her best.
She's going to need to do that. She only has less than 30 days
before the US Nationals will, she'll be vying to make her
first world championship team.
And here is the young lady with all the gold medals five-time
Olympic champion, Alain Thompson. Arashi emulated her,
countrymen Usain Bolt by going back-to-back hundred and two
hundred in the last two Olympic Games.
And as Paul reminded you
her personal best
is on this track. That's the fast. Second fastest performance
ever.
We look at the rest of this field. You got
three Jamaicans in the field. Some of the top American
Spinners, along with Richardson TT. Terry Dean Asher Smith. The
reigning world champion at 200 meters. Absolutely loaded
for this Nike. Excuse me. Xfinity women's 100 meters.
Terry Richardson in Lane number three and I start for Dana
Asher Smith, Elaine Thompson run. Now up and steady trying
to hold off the feel of the Olympic champion. Does it again
not as fast as last year but a decisive win here in 1079
as well await that to go official, but
Olympic Champions, do what Olympic Champions do
at. Great Run for Elaine Thompson. Hurrah. She just
looked like a veteran. The entire race. She never quite
dominated the field, but she always looks safe. Like she was
gonna win.
So will flash back to the start of this race Thompson harod
there right in the middle of the track.
Should carry their in Lane 3. Also had a decent start. You
see Elaine down for the majority of this race. She
comes up and she just controls the field. But look at shaqiri
there in
the middle of the check. She will finish second and 10 92,
which is really good for this young Superstar who's really
just getting back. This is just her second race of the season.
And she'll be proud. And
this is all about mental for shekere. How is she going to be
able to come back on this track after the disappointment of
last season? Finishing ninth here on this track. She came
back out and made a pretty big statement. So you could Jackson
there
in third
and Jackson one of those medalists in Tokyo again, so
building that confidence,
shekere did not have the opportunity to compete at
the Olympic Games. She needs to make the US team unless
the month here in Eugene, but thinking about maybe
That step to have a chance to go up against the best in
the world. Come July here at Hayward Field. So, laying down
a big crowd here, just felt like a big moment. How was
the race for you?
I'm excited across the land healthy. I didn't care about a time.
The rain was falling. It was a little call
never care about that. Just came out said execute,
but once you did see 1079, your what are your thoughts of just
about that performance and how you'll roll yourself into
the world championships at back here in about 50 days.
What is yours? Unless I'm in the grid path. I'm Into shape.
I'm getting where I need to be adjusted to fix more things
after coming from a shoulder injury. Humphrey, excited to
come out there intensive, and I'm just happy to be here
today,
and we were happy to see you. Congratulations. Thank you.
