Jamaican athlete Elaine Thompson-Hera has announced that she will not participate in the Paris Olympic Games due to health problems.
“Sharing news like this is never fun.” At the New York Grand Prix I felt something was wrong. During physical examination, doctors discovered a small rupture of the Achilles tendon.
It will be a long road, but I am ready to start again and continue working to fully recover and resume my career. It pains me to miss the 2024 Olympics, but it’s sport, my health comes first. I will definitely support my country, Jamaica. “I will definitely come back,” the 31-year-old athlete wrote on a social network.
At the 2020 Games in Tokyo, Thompson-Hera won gold medals in the 100 and 200 meters and the 4x100m relay. In addition, at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, the athlete won gold in the 100 and 200 meters and. also silver in the 4x100m relay.
