Elaine Thompson-Herah beat Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce in the women’s 100m at Tuesday’s (6 July) 11th Istvan Gyulai Memorial, known as the Hungarian Athletics Grand Prix.
Thompson-Herah took control of the race from midway and pulled away to a comfortable 10.71 victory. The winning time is just one hundredth and a second outside Thompson-Herah’s lifetime best of 10.70.
Thompson-Herah, who was third at the Jamaica Olympic Trials, said, “I did not (expected to run this fast). It’s a surprise.”
“I feel please, it’s close to my PB, I didn’t expect to run that fast, but I am really grateful,” added Thompson-Herah.
