All for women? Gabby Thomas and other female athletes accused of poor sportsmanship to Thompson-Herah
A new video captured Gabby Thomas and other athletes show poor sportsmanship to Elaine Thompson-Herah following her injury in New York.
"I don't know what events I'm looking at for the Olympics because of the schedule. I think everybody is kind of looking at the schedule and seeing what doubles are possible," she said.

"I'm not sure yet," when asked about what doubles she'll be contesting if it's the 100m/200m or 200m/400m. "All I know is I have my eyes on the 200m gold," she concluded.
The 27-year-old has recorded respectable times this season with a 22.08s in the 200m, 50.37s in the 400m, and a wind-aided 10.88s (2.2) in the 100m.
