Jamaican sprinting star Elaine Thompson-Herah, the second-fastest woman in history, is steadily working her way back to full competition. After battling injuries and setbacks, the five-time Olympic gold medalist is intensifying her training as she eyes a return to peak form.
Thompson-Herah, who holds a blistering personal best of 10.54 seconds in the 100m, has been one of the most dominant sprinters of her generation. Her back-to-back Olympic sprint doubles in Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2021 cemented her legacy as one of the all-time greats. However, since her historic 2021 season, she has struggled with injuries, including Achilles and leg issues, which have limited her performances on the track.
Despite these challenges, the 31-year-old remains focused on regaining her top speed. Over the past few months, she has been gradually increasing her training intensity, hinting at a strong comeback for the 2025 season. While she has competed sparingly in recent years, her recent training sessions suggest she is making significant progress toward returning to full fitness.
With the 2025 World Championships and the Paris Olympics behind her, Thompson-Herah will be aiming to reassert her dominance in global sprinting. She remains a serious contender in the women’s 100m and 200m, where she has consistently battled top rivals like Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Shericka Jackson.
As she warms up for a full return, fans and analysts alike are eager to see if she can reclaim her place at the top. If her previous comebacks are any indication, Thompson-Herah could once again be a force to be reckoned with on the track.
