Gabby Thomas offers humorous behind-the-scenes look at intense training sessions

Olympic sprinter Gabby Thomas recently gave fans a humorous glimpse of her training routine. In the video, she showcased her sprinting session compared with behind the scenes during the shoot.

In the first segment, the sprinter is seen performing a resisted sprint with strength and precision, tethered to a resistance belt. As she gains speed, the belt suddenly detaches, causing her to slow down mid-sprint.

The second part humorously reveals the reality of filming such sequences. A woman is shown running behind the Olympic champion to hold the belt while another sprints alongside them, filming the action. Both individuals are visibly struggling to match her pace, adding a comedic twist to the intense session.

Thomas posted the video to Instagram on January 10, with the caption:

"She's such a real one for this."

Gabby Thomas is a two-time Olympian and five-time Olympic medalist, including three golds, one silver and one bronze. She also secured two medals at the 2023 World Championships, winning one gold and a silver. At the 2024 Paris Olympics, she added three golds to her collection in the 200m, 4x100m relay and 4x400m relay events.

Following her remarkable achievements in Paris, she is now focused on her upcoming tournaments.
