The Prefontaine Classic, the ninth stop in the Wanda Diamond League Series, will have a loaded women’s 100m field. The top three women from the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games will be present, so too is American speeder Sha’Carri Richardson.
Elaine Thompson-Herah, who created history by becoming the first woman to win a back-to-back sprint double at the Olympic Games, headlines the women’s 100m field.
The Jamaican is in the form of her life. She ran personal best times of 10.61 and 21.53 at the Tokyo 2020 games.
Doha 2019 world champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, second to Thompson-Herah in Tokyo, is also set to party. So too is Shericka Jackson, the Tokyo 2020 third-place finisher, who has a personal best of 10.76.
Briana Williams, who led off Jamaica to gold in the 4x100m title, also will be apart of the super Prefontaine Classic showdown.
Richardson, however, may draw more attention because of her comments on social media after missing the Olympic Games because of a one month ban.
Marie Josée TA LOU will also be at the start.
Canadian Andre De Grasse will headline the Prefontaine Classic men’s 100m. De Grasse won 200m gold and 100m bronze in Tokyo.
De Grasse will face six Americans – Justin Gatlin, Ronnie Baker, Trayvon Bromell, Tokyo 2020 silver medal winner Fred Kerley, Michael Norman, and Isiah Young.
South African Akani Simbine completed the line-up.
Elaine and Shelly don’t have anything to prove they have already done that time and time again,Jamaica to the world.

The JAMAICANS really have nothing to prove. They Alrea have medals.
I think Sha’Carri will win because she is well rested while the others have nothing more to prove. Sell your house and put the money on Sha’Carri

You sound reAlly stupid… YoU know who she is!
Boy bye don’t do her fact
Exactly.the five time Olympic gold medalist is in a different field they don’t need to waste time with this .
Brenda Petgrave say it again
It’s still going to be 123 or it could also be 1234 that just the way it is these days a Jamaica wi seh🤗😊🔥
Love these Jamaican ladies and have the utmost respect for thembut weed head gon smoke them…watch…🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
Steve Makayi I don’t think so o remember she can’t be smoking while running 🤭😊
Those Jamaican ladies she will run against are proven world and olympics champions with medals . She can get a medal one day after the Jamaican assassins give up track & field .
Elaine is currently her only competition I think after watching the Olympic games…looking forward…🙌
Racing for fun…is different from competition….or to prove who is!…when our 4 athletes went to Olympic they all have objective…when Elaine said she have nothing more to prove…dont think for a minute it was reference to any of her Jamaica competitors….I think it was more to critics of her will never win a Olympic medal and other critics…so despite speculation of her and fellow teammate not being friends…wasn’t anything of hatred….now what’s the purpose of this race?…to sharpen her skills…or to see if she can beat them…or if she were at the Olympic what medal she would get? ….beaten any of them now wouldn’t prove a ting…because they are in recuperating mode…for what next to come…and shelly preparation to give of yourself before retirement…hence that why she must have wanted to win so bad.
Put some respect on the fastest women in the world name.. the post should read as follows..3 JAMAICAN MEDAL WINNING OLYMPIANS VS ..other runners😎
No, Briana is out. I hope they pull Elaine, too. She has nothing to prove to those salivating over her rival.
Desmond Palmer agree. They all need to pull out n rest
Carri i am gonna keep it real these Jamaican ladies have had so much success in Japan their confidence is so high now and combine with their track speed you have your hands full my dear but I am huge fan of yours , hope you have a successful return to the track
The Big Four have nothing to prove. They are all a bit tired after a long season. They just want their paychecks, which they most certainly have earned.
