After dominating the race, Thomas expressed her interest in bagging the Olympic gold medal in the 200m race.
“I really want a gold medal and I know what that's going to take. So, I just didn't even go on vacation, I didn't do a lot of partying.
“I'm just like, I need to rest. I need to rest my soul, get my mind right, get ready for this Olympic year," Thomas said.
Thomas and Jackson went toe-to-toe at the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary last year where the Jamaican was the eventual winner of the race.
