The Miami heat set the stage for a dazzling display in the women’s 200 meters at the latest stop of the Grand Slam Track series. Perfect sprinting conditions, aided by a light tailwind, promised an explosive contest featuring some of the finest talents in global sprinting.

At the center of attention stood Gabby Thomas, the overwhelming favorite and reigning winner from the Jamaican leg of the circuit. Positioned in lane four, she faced stiff opposition but showcased once again why she is a dominant figure in the half-lap race. Navigating a demanding curve and relentless pressure from her rivals, Thomas powered through the homestretch, crossing the line first in 21.95 seconds. The time was both wind-legal and among the fastest marks recorded this season.

Hot on her heels, Tamari Davis delivered the performance of her career, securing second place with a lifetime best of 22.05 seconds. Her rapid improvement has marked her as one of the sport’s brightest young prospects. Melissa Jefferson, fresh off a victory in the 100 meters earlier in the meet, clinched third with another personal record of 22.15 seconds. While she didn’t top the podium this time, her consistency across events secured her enough points to hold onto the Slam Champion crown—making her the first athlete to ever defend the title successfully.
