"There it is! Jamaica takes the Gold, Silver AND Bronze in the Women’s 100m at the #Olympics.

Elaine Thompson wins in 10.61 seconds, running an Olympic record. The 2nd fastest time EVER & becoming the fastest woman alive!

I told y’all, those Jamaicans are BOUT THAT ACTION!!"

@JamaicanLabrat:

"As the commentator said last night, Shelly is the greatest female sprinter and she didn't need the Gold to prove it. She set the standard as double Olympic champion and now Elaine has equalled it. I understand that Shelly is disappointed, but she is a legend."
