Noah Lyles and Kishane Thompson both clocked 9.79 seconds, but the American was faster than the Jamaican by five thousandths of a second.

The 24-year-old revealed that after crossing the finish line, there was so much to reflect on. Kishane Thompson believes that he has so much potential and needs to polish his race pattern if he wants to do better in his next competitions.

Kishane Thompson revealed that he is unsure about whether he should be happy about winning a silver medal, noting that he was still processing.

However, Kishane Thompson insisted that he is proud to have shown up one more time. Thompson added that he has a calling in the sport and is proud to be a part of everything.

Going forward, he wants to continue working around the clock and perfecting his skills, believing that he will one day win the gold medal.

“I'm really grateful. I'm really happy that I get to compete with such great competitors, and honestly, it's like a big question mark that's daunting to me right now. So many new possibilities, so many new outcomes, so many things that I can improve on and just do,” Kishane Thompson revealed on the Inside Lane.

“Let's see. I'm not sure. I'm being as honest as possible. I’m proud to always hold my composure and just to believe in myself, you know, and to just know that I have a higher calling in this sport, and I found my place, and I'm going to cement my legacy like no other.”

Kishane Thompson now shifts focus to the men’s 4x100m relay, where he hopes to propel Team Jamaica to a gold medal.

At the 2023 World Championships in Budapest, Hungary, Team Jamaica won the bronze medal, and they will be looking to improve on their performance in this edition of the event.
