Gabby Thomas has had enough. Amid good news flashes that celebrated her three gold wins at the 2024 Paris Olympics, the Harvard graduate couldn’t avoid conversations surrounding comparisons made between her and her teammate Sha’Carri Richardson for far too long. The premise was set — the Dallas native failed to clinch gold in the women’s 100-meter dash at the 33rd Games and the fans aren’t too convinced about her status as an elite sprinter.

The 27-year-old posted on TikTok just a couple of hours ago. In the brief video, Thomas can be seen making it clear that such infantile debates have no place in sports and should be ousted from the community’s mindset. Walking around on the streets, Gabby says absolutely nothing but drops a friendly reminder in a hair-flipping swag.

 

“Just a friendly reminder that you can uplift one woman without bringing down another,” asserts the Massachusetts resident on TikTok. Thomas’ gaze, looking at things beyond her phone camera while recording the clip, perhaps signifies her lack of attention to such trivial things. On the other hand, the stern but relaxed look on her face also underscores how the sprinter is absolutely determined not to let a farcical comparison get into her head.

 

The duo played crucial roles in helping Team USA win gold in the women’s 4x100m relay race at the Paris Games. Gabby ran a thrilling third leg of the sprint to pass on the baton to Sha’Carri, while still keeping her squad in the race for gold. Ensuring three smooth baton handovers without any significant errors, Richardson and Team America, despite trailing behind initially, anchored the race in style in 41.78 seconds, edging past Britain’s Daryll Neita to cross the finishing line first by a considerable margin. In an interview with Refinery 29, Sha’Carri confessed to listening to only Thomas, and the rest, was just a plain blur!
