Rio Olympics sprint double champion, Elaine Thompson, is the new “queen of speed” for Flow.
Flow Jamaica through their twitter page, on Saturday (11 Feb), announced Thompson as their new Brand Ambassador.
“I am proud to be apart of the Flow family and to be their Brand Ambassador. It is an honor, looking forward for greater things#teamflow,” was Thompson’s tweet.
Thompson made her mark on the world stage by winning silver over 200m at the 2015 World Championships. At the same meet she helped Jamaica to gold in the women’s 4x100m.
However, at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Thompson completed a rare sprint double when she won gold in the 100m (with a time of 10.71 s) and the 200m (21.78 s), becoming the first female sprinter to do so since Florence Griffith Joyner at the Seoul Olympics in 1988.
Thompson is the fifth-fastest woman ever in the 200 metres event 21.66 and tied fourth-fastest in the 100 metres 10.70.
Happy Sunday from Elaine! ?
