Thomas became the first female sprinter from the United States to win an Olympic gold medal in the 200m at the 2024 Summer Games in Paris since Allyson Felix achieved the feat at the 2012 London Olympics. She also played a crucial role in securing gold medals for Team USA in both the 4x100m relay and 4x400m relay events, with the latter marking the team's eighth consecutive Olympic gold medal in the event achieved in a national record time.
