Former Trinidad and Tobago sprinter-turned-analyst Ato Boldon is standing firm on his assessment that Jamaican sprint star Elaine Thompson-Herah will not secure another individual global medal, despite her recent return to form.

𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐫 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐨𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭, 𝐁𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤.

"The actual quote was, Elaine is done as a threat in terms of medals.
I never said that Elaine was never going to run again, never said she wasn't going to run fast again.

"I have been impressed with each race I've seen Elaine run this year, including the 60s, when she was kind of catching herself.

" And now she looks like Elaine. But again, it's April, long season, wish her the best. But my analysis from two years ago remains."
