LAUSANNE, Switzerland : Sprint queen Elaine Thompson-Herah says she has set her sights on lowering the long-standing record for the women’s 100 metres, believing it is now within reach.
It edged her closer to Florence Griffith Joyner’s long-deemed-untouchable 10.49 world record set at the 1988 U.S. Olympic Trials in Indianapolis, which could come under further threat when the Diamond League circuit continues in Lausanne on Thursday. “To be able to be part of that conversation, or to have that conversation, is truly remarkable. I know Lausanne is a very good track, I ran 10.7 here in 2019 having just climbed off the plane.”
“I definitely have not run my best race as yet and I’m still working on different phases of the races and hopefully I’ll be able to put that together.
