Gabby Thomas has revealed her preferred finish to a race in a lighthearted ‘This or That’ game.
Olympic champion Gabby Thomas recently shared some of her personal preferences in a lighthearted “This or That” game filmed on the track.
The video, shared on Grand Slam Track’s social media, saw the three-time Olympic gold medalist answering fun questions about her racing style, lifestyle, and even her food choices.
When asked about the ideal way to finish a race, Thomas made her preference clear stating she’d rather win by two lengths than have to rely on a photo finish.
Usain Bolt has expressed disappointment in Yohan Blake and others for failing to follow Coach Glen Mills’ guidance, which led to their struggles.
“This or that?” the interviewers asked her.
“Win by two lengths or Photo finish?”
“Win by two lengths,” she responded without hesitation.

Greats of the current generation of sprinters have earned comparison to Usain Bolt but it is a mystery Jamaican athlete that got the world’s fastest man’s nod.
Among her other questions were whether she preferred the outside lane or inside lan? The 28-year old chose outside lane a sentiment that perfectly reflects her dominant victory in the 200m final at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Running in lane seven, Thomas was level with rival Julien Alfred in lane eight as they came off the bend.
By the time she crossed the finish line, Thomas was a full two meters ahead, clinching the gold while Alfred took silver. It was a moment that encapsulated Thomas’ powerful style—clear, controlled, and impressive.
