Jamaican sprinter Kishane Thompson has opened up regarding his first race of the season, explaining why his competitors are in for a tough time.
Olympics 100m silver medalist Kishane Thompson believes it is just a matter of time before he hits top form after a good start to his season.
Thompson featured in his first race since his Olympics silver medal win in Paris last August, when he competed at the Shanghai Diamond League on Saturday, clocking 9.99 seconds to finish second, behind South Africa’s Akani Simbine, who managed 9.98 seconds.
For a man running his first competitive race after over nine months and posting a sub-10, Thompson was delighted by his performance, saying it gives him a lot of belief that he can do much better.

Akani Simbine Reveals Why He is Not Happy Despite Flooring Kishane Thompson, Lestile Tebogo and Co in Shanghai
South African sprinter Akani Simbine beat a strong cast that included Kishane Thompson, Letsile Tebogo and Christian Coleman at Shanghai Diamond League but was still not satisfied.
“I'm really excited to be honest just to break that cobweb up for some reason it wasn't necessarily a loss today,” Thompson told The Inside Lane.
“I'm excited because I see where I got to work on and it kind of gives me excitement to know when I put it together so much more in store.”
What also gives Thompson belief is that he is now healthy early in the season unlike the two past years when he had to battle injuries before starting his competitions late.

‘I am on the right level’ - Letsile Tebogo Picks Positives from Shanghai Diamond League Loss as He Reveals Next Plans
Olympics 200m champion Letsile Tebogo has opened up on what makes him happy despite finishing third in the 100m race at Shanghai Diamond League.
“I'm really a simple guy just to even go out there and perform that's the joy for me and the last two seasons this time I was injured,” he added.
“I wasn't in race running form as in health to go out there and compete so honestly I'm just grateful and I'm just enjoying myself and knowing that; hey I got a lot to work on yeah I know I made my mistakes in the race but we're just gonna just learn from them.”
Thompson was supposed to kick off his season with the World Indoor Championships in March but missed out after sustaining an injury but his start in Shanghai should give the likes of Simbine and world champion Noah Lyles something to think about.
