14 min - Is Kishane Thompson Kickstarting a New Era of 100m Sprinting?
Breaking the 9.80 second barrier in the 100m Dash has always been seen as one of the most remarkable accomplishments in Track & Field. Over the past 40 years, since Ben Johnson first illegally ran 9.79 at the 1988 Olympics and Maurice Greene officially ran 9.79 in 1999, we have progressively seen more and more athletes run 9.7 seconds for faster. This was most notable during the Usain Bolt Era where a plethora of sprinters broke the barrier on multiple occasions. Since then, there has been a drop off in number sub-9.80 second performances in recent years.
Kishane Thompson recently ran 9.75 seconds in Jamaica, the fastest time in 10 years, and an indication that we may see more athletes dip under the barrier once again, similar to like we had seen in years past.
