After storming into 100m season’s top 5, Kishane Thompson issues bold statement following Racers Grand Prix run

Jamaican track athlete Kishane Thompson recently shared his feelings after clinching a victory at the 2025 Racers Grand Prix. Competing in the 100m race, Thompson clocked a season-best and one of the top five run times of 2025 (9.88 seconds) to win the event.

He defeated the likes of Oblique Seville during the race, who eventually bagged a second-place finish in 9.997 seconds. Notably, this was also Thompson's first 100m finals victory of the 2025 season. He had earlier bagged a win during the 100m heats of the JAAA WA Championships.

After his victory at the Racers Grand Prix, Thompson expressed gratitude for being able to complete his race without any injury. Additionally, he also asked his fans to give him some time and be patient for a better performance.

"Today, I put together a decent race. I went through my phases as best as I could, and I’m super grateful for finishing injury-free. I want everyone to be patient because great things are going to happen," he said [via World Athletics].

So far in the 2025 season, Thompson has bagged a few 60m victories in Spanish Town and Astana. Following these performances, the Olympic silver medalist was also the runner-up in the 100m race at the Shanghai Diamond League held last month.

Kishane Thompson expressed his emotions after registering a runner-up finish at the Shanghai Diamond League. The Jamaican clocked a run time of 9.99 seconds to finish just behind South Africa's Akani Simbine (9.98 seconds).

Speaking in an interview, Thompson said that he didn't focus solely on his speed during the Shanghai event as he put more emphasis on execution. Additionally, he mentioned that his performances will only get better after this event.

"I'd say it's a decent race. I am working off some cobwebs. Today, it wasn't really about a fast time. It was more of getting a better execution, putting it out all together, you know. It's my season opener, we have a lot of stuff to work on. We're just going to move forward from here. I'm just working with what's here at the present," he said [via runnerspace, 00:07 onwards]
