KINGSTON - Olympic 200m champion Gabrielle Thomas was among the first big winners of the inaugural Grand Slam Track series on April 5, digging deep to finish second in the women's 400m to clinch the US$100,000 (S$135,000) long sprints jackpot.
The American, who had stormed to a convincing victory in her specialist 200m event on April 4 at Kingston's National Stadium, took second in 49.14sec behind Bahrain's Salwa Eid Naser, the 2019 world champion who finished in 48.67sec. Marileidy Paulino of the Dominican Republic - the reigning Olympic 400m champion - was third in 49.35sec.
"I'm not sure I've ever been more tired in my life. I knew that was going to be one of the hardest races of my life just because of the talent in the field," Thomas said.
