Elaine Thompson-Herah was seen in a track meet for the first time after the Paris Olympic Games.
World's fastest woman alive Elaine Thompson-Herah was spotted in her first track meet since the disappointment of not competing at the Paris Olympic Games.
The five-time Olympic champion reportedly took time out to be present in Zurich, where Armand Duplantis and Karsten Warholm faced off in the glamorous 100m showdown won by the Swedish pole vaulter.

Battle of World Record holders: Mondo Duplantis beats Karsten Warholm in 100m battle at Zurich Diamond League
Two-time Olympic gold medallist Armand Duplantis defeated former Olympic champion Karsten Warholm in an exhibition 100m sprint at the Letzigrund Stadium in Zurich.
Athletics journalist and reporter @realtalkwithtee ran into the legendary Jamaican sprinter in the stands, and she was kind enough to oblige in a picture.
It is the first time Thompson-Herah will be seen in a track scene following her disheartening withdrawal from the Jamaican Olympic trials after sustaining an Achilles tendon injury at the NYC Grand Prix in May.
Her non-participation invariably meant exclusion from competing in Paris, where she could have made history by becoming the first woman ever to complete double sprint titles at three consecutive Olympics.
