In the finals of the Paris Olympics 100m, it was pure drama when Kishane Thompson and Noah Lyles were competing against each other to finish the race. Thompson missed the chance of winning the gold by just a fraction of a second. However, he did sulk over the blow and said, “I am going to take it as what it is and move forward from here.” And through his strong determination, he won gold in the World Athletics Indoor Tour in Astana by clocking 6.56 seconds in the men’s 60m.

But whether it is losing gold or winning it, the one person who has constantly shown his trust in this sprinter is none other than his family. So, let’s take a look at the entire Thompson clan that has always stood by him.

Who is Kishane Thompson’s Mother?

As documented by Sportsmax TV, the pillar of the house, aka Grace Allen is Kishane Thompson’s mother, who gave birth to the champion at Lionel Town Hospital. We now know where Thompson gets his athletic aptitude from. “I used to do high jump at school at Mitchell Town Primary. I think he got the genes from me,” Allen remarked. Moreover, she was quick to identify Thompson’s inclination, “He always loved to run, he always came first on sports day,” she said, recalling his achievements at Mitchell Town Basic School.

A bond so deep, Allen appears Thompson’s go-to person in his moments of joy. The moment he dashed past the finish line, it was established- Thompson had been the fastest this year. Yet, he ran to the warm up area outside, celebrating by embracing his mother. “Oh, I am so elated. I am so proud of my son. He deserves it,” she stated, smiling ear to ear. Now living a moment that she was admittedly looking forward to, Allen couldn’t have been prouder of her boy, who “is someone who really concentrates on what he is doing; he puts his all into it.”

Who is Kishane Thompson’s Father?

After Thompson ran, clocking 9.77 seconds at the National Stadium om Mitchell Town and ranking as a contender for the gold medal, his mother, in an interview with the Sunday Gleamer, said that Kishane shared a close bond with his father, who had always believed in his running potential. However, with poignant regret, she informed that Thompson’s biggest supporter, his father, had died at the beginning of 2024. “He knew he would make it to this point. He believed in his dream and wanted him to see him at this point,” Allen said. But he died with a dream to see his son compete on a big stage, about which he was always enthusiastic.

What is Kishane Thompson’s Parents’ Nationality?

Thompson has got a Jamaican gene from his mother who is a Jamaican herself. However, it seems like the 23-year-old is not very comfortable in talking about his father at this point as his name or nationality is still not readily available in the public domain.

Know about Thompson’s siblings

Thompson’s odyssey from a small town to the Olympic village this year is something that his siblings would have perhaps witnessed up and close. In total, the Thompson trio consists of Kishane, his twin brother Kishawn, and they have a sister too. Moreover, they seem to share a close bond.

“My half. My Yang. I’m Ying; he’s Yang. If you guys know philosophy, you know Ying and Yang is balance,” Kishane recently told sports journalist Trishana McGowan, referring to his brother Kishawn. The sprinter admitted, “He has always been there for me.”

It looks clear that Thompson has always drawn great support from his family. His fans were hoping to see him at the Grand Slam Track, but he, along with Sha’Carri Richardson, the runner-up of the 100m race in Paris, are not going to participate in the race. Yet, the fans must not get disappointed, as he will soon be informing them about his future endeavors.
