‘I’m betting him against the field next 4 years’- Fans react as Kishane Thompson sets personal best in 60m season opener

Kishane Thompson got his 2025 season up and running in a meet event in Jamaica. Fans are excited to see the budding sprinter make a mark in 2025.

Olympic 100m silver medallist Kishane Thompson has left fans in awe of his performance after an impressive start to the 2025 season.

The Jamaican clocked a personal best time of 6.48 seconds in the 60m at the Central Hurdles, Relays & Field Events Meet 2025 on home soil on January 18.

Kishane Thompson cut the tape first, ahead of Nashion Ebanks (6.54) and Rohan Watson (6.61) came in second and third respectively. His achievement will surely make his rivals, namely Noah Lyles, to take notice of what to expect this year in an action-packed calendar.

Excited fans took to X, formerly Twitter, to express their thoughts on Thompson’s season-opening performance.

One fan reacted: “I’m betting him against the field next 4 years, Jamaica is back .”

The Jamaican sensation made a real statement at the Paris Olympics in debut appearance but here is what you need to know about the 23-year-old sprinter.

As though this was not enough, another curious but cheeky fan chimed in: “He’s taking that Olympic loss personal this year, accompanied by emojis if fire.”

“6 48 into a 2.1m/s headwind?! That’s insane power and speed! Kishane is starting the season with a statement,” wrote another fan.

A fourth tweeted: “If I were Kishane Thompson’s team, I’d push marketing on him. He’s a beast and good looking. It’s perfect.”

Thompson had a stellar 2024 season and will be looking to make 2025 memorable, considering that last year  was the first time he donned the Jamaican jersey, competing at the Paris Olympic Games.
