ETH Wants to Rewrite the Record Books in Paris

Sprint queen, Elaine Thompson-Herah, says she remains hungry to defend her Olympic titles and break the world records over 100 and 200 metres.

Thompson-Herah clinched the 100 and 200 meters gold at back-to-back Olympics, a feat she achieved in Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo.

Her personal best of 10.54 seconds makes her the fastest woman alive in the 100 metres, and her 21.53 seconds makes her the third fastest alive in the 200 metres.

Speaking on Citius Mag, the 31-year-old says she wants to further rewrite the record book by becoming the first woman to win the sprint double at three straight Olympic Games.

Thompson-Herah says her inner confidence is what keeps her motivated.
