Hope she bounces back and ready to defend her title

She still has time to improve so we shouldn’t worry at all

I have always supported Elaine. But what I did not appreciate was her taking to social media and said she expected it. That makes no sense. Yes I’m glad she starts her season but go train some more for real. Or she could open in a lower caliber race. That’s humiliating for the reigning champ. I’m saddened. Wishing her all the very best as always

It’s okay for her to open her season regardless of the field !! It’s a start better than not showing . She came out of the blocks and just ran slowly…She ran faster than that in training. I am not utterly disappointed since it’s the first race.

Let’s not be too quick to write off Elaine. Like you’ve said Sophia she’s not going roll over and play and hand anyone her titles. She has time. I’m rooting for her

All when Elaine come dead last mi still ago cheer fi har just like when she win nothing will changes for me. Can’t believe say it her own people a tear har down su just because she neva cross the the line first. No one know what happen why she come last only she can tell that story because a she go out there go run moreover it her first race of the season and unu do har su my God man. Y’all are some social media bullies before unu grace the lady and encourage her to come back better unu know how much that would do for her. Sometimes a person can look good physically on the outside but you don’t what is going on, on the inside we don’t know what that girl he dealing with in real life or what she is going through. That girl need a break from all the bashing, not everyday you ago win, you win some and you lost some. Yow tears come a mi eyes to how mi see unu a do the girl Jah Jah God!!!

Her coach is not at fault. She has had this injury for the past two years now and this is a new coach.

We need to give her grace because we don’t know what’s happening with her behind the scenes 🎉. There’s always another time

Don't sleep on her folks. She knows how to run.

Just building the hype for Paris.

All when she run last, mi still a go support her ,,why because a lot off Jamaicans are so bias, this lady go double back to back olympics, no other rass woman ever do that in history put some respect on elaine Thompson name, can imagine if it was such lady did that, unu would put her on mount rush😮😮😮,

I’m a little worried. She seemed to have some injury issues. Because she didn’t go at her full speed at all. I think she has time if the injury is being dealt with. Wishing her all the best

Listen carefully, Elaine will win the olympic final in Rome.

Different athletes do things differently, as do different coaches. Some will still be in heavy training and won't run fast, because their bodies are tires. Others will be out of that stage and working on race sharpness, they will hopefully be running a lot faster. The ones still in heavy training will want to race at some point to see where they are at, which gives them a better idea of when they need to transition out of heavy training. They will often want to run in a competitive race, i.e. with high level competition, so that they perform as well as they can. If Elaine entered an easier race, she may have run even slower and they wouldn't necessarily know if she had run as fast as she could at the moment. It's only May. Runners need to be fast enough in time for selection, but it doesn't take long at all for times to improve when the training is adjusted. Many athletes are choosing to stay in heavy training for as long as possible this year, so they can get as much benefit as possible from it, prior to the Olympics. This is more noteable with sprinters, because sprinting requires more power, so they benefits of working in the gym are more pronounced than for distance athletes, which is why many of the sprinters have been running slower than usual times this year, but that has been less aparent in longer distances. Think back to Tokyo. Lamont Marcel Jacobs had never run sub 10, prior to those Olympics, than ran 9.80 in the final, improving in each round. Obviously for some countries, athletes would need to be running faster than that in time for selection, but these are experienced athletes with even more experienced coaches, so they know what they are doing. Obviously mistakes can happen or things don't always go as planned, but for the most part people are race ready when they need to be.

Sha'Carri came last in a race sometime ago, as well, and look at her now.. preparedness is key. I think the other ladies are ahead in their preparation.

Small 🔥 can become big 😮

I don't think that she will make Jamaica's team to the Paris Olympics .

U didn't even show the race lol what a joke

Where is Stephen Francis when you need him? The mistake of Elaine's life was leaving Stephen Francis. I doubt that she will ever return to that form.

Maybe she raced for the money and appearance fee. Otherwise, I don’t know why she would have gone if she knew what condition she’s in. Because the optics don’t look good and fans can’t appreciate her strategy.

The lady open her season with good athletes nothing wrong with that , why hide from people, she is elaind thompson , not the other lady that alway pretend to be hurt just to watch the others ,then comes out ,, elaine will be fine , unless them obeah her to rass😮

It's not how you start but how you finish, the season has just begin ,it's time for grooming and getting the feel of things, don't let Elaine lure you to sleep,i smell a rat,to come in last, her running time is the fastest in the world since flojo, she's up to something,she's setting a trap.

Elaine isn't the first and sure will not be the last, so you people need to stop that nonsense check your record even Shacarri did. Just keep your opinion to unu self.

there is no more days...Elaine been on the decline since 2022 and 2023..bad coaching decision..Elain will not be representing jamaica this year olympics in the 100m possibly the 200m only
