The 2023 World Championship gold medalist, Gabby Thomas, recently opened up about her superb comeback at the USATF New York City Grand Prix 2024. This comes just a few days after her disappointing performance at the USATF Los Angeles Grand Prix in Drake Stadium.
During the race, Thomas finished fourth in the event with a run time of 22.68 seconds. However, she came back strongly in New York and got back her momentum just ahead of the US Olympic Track and Field Trials in Eugene.
She produced a scintillating performance on Sunday and bagged the gold medal in the Women's 200m event with a registered run time of 22.42 seconds. Even though this was almost 0.35 seconds more than her personal best in the 200m this season (22.08 seconds at the 2024 Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays), it was enough for her to clinch the top position on the podium.
