Gabby Thomas Just Ran 21.70… The World Should Be Worried

Gabby Thomas just reminded the world why she’s one of the most dangerous sprinters on the planet. At the USATF Lone Star Grand Prix, the Olympic champion stormed to a world-leading 21.70 in the 200m, the third-fastest time of her career and her fastest performance since 2023. What’s even more impressive is that it’s only June. After breaking the 11-second barrier in the 100m for the first time this season and returning from a long training block looking stronger than ever, Thomas appears to be in the form of her life. With Julien Alfred already running 21.93 and the women’s sprint scene heating up, could we be witnessing the start of something special? And while Florence Griffith-Joyner’s legendary 21.34 world record still stands, the gap between today’s stars and history’s greatest mark continues to shrink. In this video, we break down Gabby Thomas’ incredible 21.70, what it means for the rest of the season, and why the rest of the world should be paying attention. #GabbyThomas #TrackAndField #Athletics #Sprinting #200m #Olympics #USATF #JulienAlfred #FloJo #WorldRecord #Running #TrackNation #Sports
