Olympic 200m champion Gabby Thomas electrified audiences at the Lone Star Grand Prix in College Station, Texas, with a world-leading time of 21.70 seconds, securing victory over competitors Kayla White and Nigeria’s Favour Ofili.

Thomas, who previously won gold with a time of 21.83 at the 2024 Paris Olympics, now inches closer to her personal best of 21.60, set in 2023. 'I’m a little surprised by the time, but I’ve been training hard,' remarked the 29-year-old American athlete.
