In their first match-up since the Rio Olympics, Jamaica’s Elaine Thompson handily topped the U.S.’ Tori Bowie in the 100m at the second Diamond League meet of the season in Shanghai.
Thompson, the 100m and 200m gold medalist in Rio, raced to 10.78 seconds. Bowie – who took the silver medal in Rio – clocked a season’s best, 11.04, for second place.
“I made a great start and I was able to bring it home,” Thompson told media. “I am pleased with the time.”
Thompson added that her next stop will be to compete in the Jamaica Invitational later in May, followed by more world championships preparation.
