A track fan ticked her order of life dreams which included watching Gabby Thomas run at Grand Slam Track in Philadelphia.
An excited track fan has fulfilled her lifelong dream of watching Olympic champion Gabby Thomas compete at a meet after attending the Grand Slam Track in Philadelphia.
The American sprint queen competed in her third-straight Grand Slam series in Philadelphia, havig a rollercoaster experience by losing both of her races and faced taunts from a bettor. Despite this, she still received adoration from her fans, who regarded her as their hero.
In her trademark event - the 200m, she was stunned by fellow Olympian Melissa Jefferson-Wooden, who won in a personal best time of 21.99s and added the 100m win as well clocking a world-leading time of 10.73s (the joint tenth fastest time in history) as Thomas finished fourth.
Following the conclusion of her races, Thomas took time out to sign autographs and take pictures with fans, which she posted on her social media pages.
A female fan then tweeted on how it was a dream come true to meet Thomas.
"Best days of my life:
1) seeing Gabby Thomas race in person
2) medical school graduation
In that order," she wrote.
Thomas is an inspiration to many young girls around the world. She has achieved a medal-winning track career at both the Olympics and world championships.
In addition to her athletic success, she is also a medical practitioner, having graduated from Harvard University and earned an MSc degree from the University of Texas. She's currently one of the world's best sprinters.
