Fans fear for Olympic champion Elaine Thompson-Herah, who needed assistance to leave the track after her 100m race at the NYC Grand Prix.
The Jamaican track legend finished eighth in the race in 11.48s (-2.1) but immediately removed her spikes and was limping. A few moments later, she was carried off the track, and there are concerns that her Achilles injury suffered in the past two years may be back, thus may halt her progress ahead of the Jamaican trials and competing at the Paris Olympic Games.
