'If you're that good, you don't need to dip' - Kishane Thompson shades Noah Lyles' winning style at the Olympics in Paris
Olympic silver medallist Kishane Thompson is subjective on the topic that dipping is vital in winning a race. A situation that saw him lose the Olympic 100m gold to Noah Lyles in Paris.
The 23-year-old made his season's diamond league debut in Shanghai, where he narrowly lost to Akani Simbine in a close race where they both clocked 9.99s.
This time, Thompson will face a tougher challenge in veteran American sprinter Bromell, who seems to be back at his best this year, having stayed unbeaten in the 100m and has a season's best time of 9.84s - the third fastest time in the world and his best since 2022.

With the duo going against each other as two of the world's best in great form, it'll be an epic battle as the winner will be a strong favourite for the world title in Tokyo in September.
