Elaine Thompson-Herah will aim to win third successive Olympic golds over 100m and 200m in Paris<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Five-time Olympic champion Elaine Thompson-Herah has split with her coach eight months before she will attempt to defend her sprint titles at Paris 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

According to her management team, the 31-year-old parted with Shanikie Osbourne because of the “extremely excessive” terms sought by the coach.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Jamaican won 100m, 200m and 4x100m gold at Tokyo 2020 after winning 100m and 200m gold at Rio 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n

She is the second-fastest woman in history over 100m.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Collectively, we had no choice but to seek the services of another coach,” Thompson-Herah’s management team said in a statement.<\/span><\/p>\n

“With the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris fast approaching, Thompson-Herah is fully focused on her preparations for the season and the defence of her Olympic titles.”<\/span><\/p>\n

While Thompson-Herah has dominated women’s sprinting at the previous two Olympic Games, she failed to qualify for this year’s World Championships in Budapest following an injury-hampered season.<\/span><\/p>\n

American Florence Griffith-Joyner, who clocked 10.49 seconds in 1988, is the only woman to have run faster than Thompson-Herah’s 100m personal best of 10.54 secs.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
