The fastest woman alive in the 100m and the second fastest in the 200m, Elaine Thompson-Herah, is reintroducing herself to sprint fans and has declared that she is no longer a people-pleaser.
Like athletes before her, Thompson-Herah has publicly expressed her feelings regarding the treatment of local athletes by Jamaicans. In a December appearance on Asafa and Alyshia Powell’s Fast Lane Lifestyle podcast, Thompson-Herah and the Powells discussed the lack of respect and appreciation often displayed by the public.
On Saturday, Thompson-Herah shared a few pics on Instagram of her rocking a high ponytail with curls in a white T-shirt and sheer skirt. The double Olympic champion appears to be ready to redefine her boundaries and expressed that she is not afraid to burn a few bridges
“Unfortunately, when most of y’all met me, I was a people-pleaser who lacked boundaries. Allow me to reintroduce myself. I burned bridges as needed,” Thompson-Herah stated, captioning the photos.
