After a fair start, it was Dina Asher smith of Great Britain who got a very impressive start, but over the closing 40 meters, it was all Thompson Herah who once again showcase unmatched top-end speed with a finishing time of 10.79 s Herah just ran the second-fastest time of this season so far, now only falling behind her compatriot and legend Shay Ann Fraser Pryce. Finishing in second, was none other than the sometimes embattled Use sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson, who ran a very impressive time of 10.92s, just barely edging out Sharika Jackson of Jamaica, the Olympic bronze medalist who also finished in 10.92s. Now, this was Richardson first time breaking 11 seconds barrier since last yr use championships. And at 10.92 seconds she is now tied as the 6th fastest female athlete in the world for 2022. This was a huge moment of redemption for Richardson as she managed to take down last yrs bronze medalist  Jamaica’s Sherika Jackson. With this kind of performance, we can see her making the United States team this season.

Finishing behind these top three was a very quick field with a total of five athletes dipping under the 11secs barrier, notable Dina Asher-Smith, and  Terry Twanisha finished in 10.98secods, but faster than anyone on this day, was once again Jamaica double Olympic Champion Elaine Thompson Herah, who just knows how to shows up for the big meets.

At this point in her season, it would have seemed as if she is officially on a path to greatness. But when Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce and Elaine Thompson Herah do finally meet, what will the winning time be between these two legends, and which Jamaican athlete will ultimately come out on top?

  • Montego Bay Ascendant: Swallowtail Tower Tops Out, Cementing City’s Role as Jamaica’s New Development Leader

    Montego Bay, long established as the Caribbean’s premier tourism capital, is now boldly stepping forward to claim its title as a leader in integrated, high-end residential development. The city’s skyline has been irreversibly changed with the Official Topping-Out Ceremony of the Swallowtail Tower, the first of the four luxury residential towers at The Pinnacle. Reaching its final height of 28 stories, the tower now stands as the tallest building in Jamaica. Notably, even during its construction, the structure and its installed systems demonstrated absolute resilience against the fury of Hurricane Melissa, standing tall and virtually unscathed against the Category 5 winds. This monumental achievement not only solidifies Montego Bay’s structural progress but also signals its intent to become a primary hub for luxury living and diversified economic activity, challenging Kingston’s traditional dominance in non-tourism-centric development.
