Olympic 100m and 200m champion Elaine Thompson-Herah has withdrawn from this weekend’s Birmingham Diamond League meet after she experienced discomfort in training, her management agency said on Thursday.
Jamaican Thompson-Herah was set to run in the 100m in an eagerly awaited contest along with Tokyo bronze medallist and compatriot Shericka Jackson and Britain’s Dina Asher-Smith who won 100m silver at the 2019 World Championships.
Thompson-Herah had a stellar 2021 where she also won the 4x100m relay gold in Tokyo, and she came within 0.05 seconds of Florence Griffith-Joyner’s 100m world record at a Diamond League meeting.
