    Breaking Down Elaine Thompson-Herah's 10.92, Was Ato Boldon Wrong?

    At the 2026 Velocity Fest 19, 5-time Olympic Champion Elaine Thompson-Herah ran her first 100m in 2 years and clocked a time of 10.92 seconds. This was was a shocking performance in that, it indicated she was almost certainly back from the injuries that kept her out of the sport for so long, and may be trending back towards the performances that brought her to the world and Olympic medals. But, in 2024 and 2025, while she was sitting out and most people questioned if she would even return, Ato Boldon shared his thoughts about Elaine likely no longer being a threat and not being able to get back to that previous form. Today, I break down Elaine's 100m race and also discuss Ato's comments on if he was wrong or if he actually was right. ⁠------------------------------------------- 📱Twitter: https://x.com/EmeroleAnderson 🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheFinalLeg 📱Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/atkoeme/ 🎧⁠Subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts ⁠------------------------------------------- Chapters: 00:00 Intro 05:23 Mt Sac Relays Results 09:25 Tom Jones Memorial Results 12:25 South African Championships 16:33 Addis Ababa Grand Prix 19:58 Michael Norman’s Comeback 40:00 Breaking Down Elaine's 10.92 51:01 Reviewing Ato Boldon’s comments
