World's fastest woman alive Elaine Thompson-Herah outclassed a respectable field, storming to her first sub-11s of the 2023 season in Switzerland.
Double Olympic champion Elaine Thompson-Herah is gradually getting back to her best, clocking her first sub-11s of the season to win the women's 100m event at the Galà dei Castelli meet in Switzerland.
The Jamaican sprint legend blazed to a fast 10.92s (0.0), ahead of Great Britain's Imani Lansiquot, who sped to her a Personal Best (PB) of 10.99s, while Gambia's Gina Bass was third in 11.12s.
It's a vital win and confidence-boosting performance for Thompson-Herah, having had a rough patch this season that sadly saw her not make the Jamaican individual team to the World Championships in Budapest.
