Elaine Thompson-Herah is the fastest woman in Jamaica, the fastest woman alive, and the double gold medal winner in both the 100 meters and the 200 meters.
She epically denied another great sprinter, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce from achieving a double gold in both events and making history. Certainly, this was a disappointing moment for Shelly-Ann, but the rise of a phoenix moment for Elaine.
The Tokyo Summer Olympics 2021 finally saw some pizzazz and excitement, as in the days when Usain Bolt competed. And we only have great hopes that she maintains her training and discipline to continue being the greatest female sprinters.
Elaine Thompson-Herah vs Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce
In terms of medals, Elaine Thompson-Herah has four individual Olympic gold medals. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce has two individual Olympic golds.
Elaine Thompson-Herah has cemented herself as the second-fastest woman, in history behind Flo Jo, in both the 100 meters and 200 meters.
Meanwhile, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is the third fastest in history for 100m. Also, she has four individual Wold Championship gold medals in the 100 meters and another individual 200 meters gold medal, as well.
They have both made Jamaica proud and strived to be the best in the world.

Check out her book The Caribbean Family
The family is the genesis of all societies. Every culture has its distinct rules by which a family is governed, and the Caribbean family is no exception. Those rules differ within each group; for the Indians, Chinese, and Africans. Making up most of the population in the Caribbean, African families have spawned several sub-units or types; some of which are unique to the African culture. This book explores each family type and their history within the Caribbean.
