Olympic Games sprint double champion Elaine Thompson-Herah has started her pre-season training at a new base, the Mico University College in Kingston.
Thompson-Herah, who won the Tokyo 2020 100m and 200m titles, shared a photograph of herself on the Mico University College field.
Jamaica’s 1984 world 400m champion Bertland Cameron conditions his Cameron Blazers Club athletes from Mico University College; he also coaches Mico’s athletics team.
Trackalerts.com was reliably informed that Thompson-Herah will be guided by Cameron along with her husband, Derron Herah.
In her social media post, Thompson-Herah shared only: “Day 1 under the watchful eyes … I’m Immortal.”
The first woman to win back-to-back Olympic Games 100m/220m titles, Thompson-Herah decided to part ways with her longtime club, Jamaica’s MVP, where coach Stephen Francis has guided her to all her successes to date, including that of being the fastest woman alive, with 10.54 (100m) and 21.53 (200m).
I wonder what bert can do. his club hasn’t had much success if any.
What about this rumour that Nike asked Francis to coach a top athlete from USA. Hypothetically, let’s say the rumour is true, & that Sha’Carri Richards is that athlete. What would you do were you in Thompson’s shoes? Would you want to be a part of a system like that? Can you imagine being in that scenario, then get yourself beaten by Richards? Then to add insult to injury, Richards start to hype on you. But this is speculation at best, & worth giving some thought to.
I understand you would like your husband to get some of the praise and glory, but it’s a wrong move if you ask me.
Biggest liar I said when you were denying it that time would tell and it certainly did. When you do such things you’re only hurting yourself.
I can imagine the first race she lose her critic’s will have a ball and don’t let it be to Shakira
Bertland Cameron??…. Jaheel Hyde, Keliese Spencer , Christine Day…..
Patricia Williams Keliese Spencer and Christine Day gone back MVP
U go Elaine all the best am your day one supporter not just the other day u win like nuff off them wagonist ya
All the best Humble Queen Elaine. I support you all the way. Don’t let Haters get the best of you. Stay focused and do your thing .💯 💪
I hope that’s a good move that would help her continue her superb performances.
Ann Marie Hinds-Peart Because it never happened as yet!!!
Patrick O. Thompson-Tommo The report didn’t say it had happened yet, but that it was going to happen.
So why was she denying the change a few weeks ago?
Ann Marie Hinds-Peart She has her reasons. I would speculate that her contractual arrangements at that time would prohibit her from speaking definitively on that issue. Just saying.
Bissy Bisso yes I understand but man! Lol…
IF THAT WAS THE CASE… TELL THE JOURNALIST YOU ARE not able to comment on it at that time… Don’t tell a blatant lie that the media was just making up things and you have no plans of leaving the club when you know that’s not true. plus she did it with a straight face…. how do you believe anything that she says after that?
Gaston Cameron leave the girl alone. You without sin cast a stone
Gaston Cameron bet u was one of them bigging up when she win ….
She too lie
Gaston Cameron, she is working for herself, I am sure you did not vote for her.
Don’t watch the heaters live your life to the fullest u have a strong husband by your side trust in lord on live
I really do hope her husband and Bertland Cameron do not go tinkering with her training program. Elaine is already a well-oiled machine, thanks to her old coach Stephen Francis. Their focus should be keeping her fit, healthy, and motivated. All Elaine will need in 2022 to break Flo-Jo’s record is the right running conditions once they do the basics for her.
You go Elaine!! It’s your life. Do you. Make you happy. That’s what’s important…. that you’re happy.
