The track and field star hopes to do more than win her first Gold medal in Paris. She hopes that people watching the Games appreciate her effort as well.

“I hope they see a really hard worker,” Thomas said. “Someone who’s not afraid to go in the big arena and challenge themselves.”

Recently, Thomas won Gold in the 4 X 100m relay and Silver in the 200m at the 2023 World Championships.
