TOKYO -- Jamaicans Elaine Thompson-Herah and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce were head and shoulders over the rest of the field in the women’s 100 meters. The women’s 200 meters figures to be much more of a toss-up.
Thompson-Herah is just a few days removed from becoming a two-time Olympic gold medalist in the 100 meters. She looks determined to secure another gold in the 200 meters. She ran a personal-best 21.66 to get into the 200-meter final. She’s entering the final with the best time through the rounds.
The 29-year-old could become the first woman in history to win the 100 and 200 meters in back-to-back Olympics.
