"Once she gets up and into her running, her turnover, her quickness is unmatched by anyone, maybe anyone I've ever even seen. So that's a weapon that when you can apply that, she's unstoppable," Johnson told NBCUniversal Local.
“But when you have that sort of weapon, the ability to apply it and put it together all on the day, in the right time, that's the trick, that's the key that we all have to figure out.
“So, what I'll be looking for is someone has had to figure out how to do that consistently because she hasn't been as consistent as [Fraser-Pryce, Thompson-Herah].

Noah Lyles, Kenny Bednarek lament over hiked flight & accommodation costs ahead of Olympics
Noah Lyles and Kenny Bednarek are among the athletes who have complained about the hiked prices of flights and accommodation ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and the USTAF Olympic trials.
"I think with Noah, first and foremost, personalities are an amazing asset for an athlete, and fans certainly get into it. But if you don't have the performances to back that up then you've sort of just living a moment, you know, that's not really sustainable," Johnson added.
“But the thing about Noah is he's a great personality, but that's on top of the fact that he's just a phenomenal athlete...He sort of calls his shot and puts it out there. He's not afraid to put it out there and say, 'This is the shot I'm going to go for, and I'm going to accomplish it. I'm going to win it.' And he goes out and he backs that up, and he does it. And that's rare."
