Among them, in the final of 100 meters, Thompson broke the Olympic record of 10 1 which has been maintained for 33 years, and this record was created by "Hua" Griffith Koina at 1988 Seoul Olympic Games. Although there is still a distance from the world record of Koina 10.49 seconds, she has become the second fastest woman in history, and her strength is very strong.
Elaine Thompson, 1992 was born on June 28th, 1992 in Banana Garden in Manchester Parish, one of the poorest areas in Jamaica. She started track and field training at an early age until she entered Manchester High School.
Although her family has always said that she is "born to run", Thompson is not the most outstanding sprinter in the school. In the 2009 Jamaica Athletics Championships, she only won the fourth place in 100 meter.
20 1 1 In the last year of Manchester High School, she was removed from the school track and field team because of disciplinary problems. However, her talent for sprinting was discovered by track and field coach stephen francis, the founder of Kingston Track and Field Club and the driving force behind the 100-meter flying man Shelly shelly-ann fraser-pryce Price.
Under the operation of Francis, Thompson successfully won a scholarship from Kingston University of Science and Technology. With a good coach and financial support, Thompson has no worries. Since then, her grades have soared.
In 20 13, Thompson ran a personal best of 1 1 sec 4 1 in Gibson relay race. At the Central American and Caribbean Championships held in morera, she became the first leg of Jamaican team and won the gold medal in the 4* 100 meter relay, winning the championship in 43.58 seconds.
In 20 14, Thompson won her first inter-school championship, ranking fifth in the national championship with 1 1.26 seconds, and set a season best of1.17.
In 20 15, Thompson ran a personal best of 10.84, and won the national 200m championship with a score of 22.5 1, thus qualifying for the World Championships. In the same year, at the World Championships, she won the silver medal in the 200m and the gold medal in the 4100m relay.
At the Rio Olympic Games in 20 16, Thompson won the gold medals in100m and 200m, and the silver medal in the 4 *100m relay. In the same year, in the world relay race, she was a member of the relay team, won the 4,200-meter gold medal and set a new world record.
20 17 due to injury, Thompson started in a bad state and his grades dropped significantly. That year's World Championships in Track and Field, she only won the fifth place in the 100 meters, which made her very frustrated.
Thompson said: "In the past three years, I have faced many obstacles. This is a battle between yourself and injuries. But the point is, I must stay strong, because I am a top athlete, and I must try my best to get back to the top. I know this achilles tendon pain will go away one day. Disappointment makes you better and stronger, and one day you will get the result you want. I learned how to use disappointment to motivate myself, continue to work hard and become better. " After getting rid of the injury, she gradually returned to the top of the world.
20 19, Thompson is the 100-meter champion of the Pan American Games and the champion of the Diamond League twice.
At the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, Thompson won the women's 10 second gold medal. He also broke the Olympic 100 meter record held by Huakeyina for 33 years, defended the Olympic sprint champion of 65,438+000 meters and 200 meters, and got a good score of 4 * with his teammates. In addition to 100m, she is also the sixth fastest female athlete in 200m history. )
Thompson's outstanding performance in the two Olympic Games made people compare her with "Hua" Kojna.
Although "Hua" Koina's world record has been controversial, some people say that she took stimulants and some people say that she was speeding, objectively speaking, if athletes do not have first-class hard power, it is impossible to take medicine alone. So at Elaine Thompson's present level, is there any chance to break the world record of 10.49 seconds set by Kojna?
Personally, I think it is still very possible.
First of all, in terms of physical conditions, they are very similar in figure, with long legs and similar weight. Coiner is 1.69 m tall and weighs 59 kg, while Thompson is 1.67 m tall and weighs 57 kg. Moreover, both of them have excellent ability to accelerate their later courses. In addition to10.49 seconds, Kojna's second best score is just right.
Moreover, judging from the video of the game in Kojna that year, Kojna ran out of the world record. Although the official wind speed is 0m/s, the actual wind speed may reach 4-5m/s, and carl lewis, the king of track and field, also ran 9.78 seconds (+5.2 m/s). So many people think that the wind speed of this game should also be 5 m/s.
