In terms of athletics, Jamaica produces some of the finest sprinters in the world. When mentioning the same, the first name that comes to everybody’s mind is Usain Bolt. The current world record holder of 100 and 200-meter races, Bolt was incredible. Even some of the greatest female sprinters, such as Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Elaine Thompson-Herah, hail from Jamaica.

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce vs Elaine Thompson-Herah
These two women have been among the best on the track for years now. Hence, their career trajectories are turning out to be the same as well. Ironically, Fraser-Pryce won the Olympic gold medal in the 100-meters race in Beijing 2008 and in London 2012; likewise, Thompson-Herah bagged gold in Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020.

Moreover, their net worth stays the same as well, with both of them having $4 million. However, the only difference is Fraser-Pryce having two endorsements while Thompson-Herah has one. The former is sponsored by Puma and has signed endorsement deals with HUMBL. The latter, however, is in an ongoing battle to sign for PUMA but continues to be sponsored by Nike.

Tensions arise between Nike and Thompson-Herah
Although the Tokyo Olympic gold medalist is signed up with Nike, recent issues have created a glaring distance between Elaine and the brand. At the Eugene Diamond League in Oregon, Elaine did remarkably well and set the second-fastest time. However, things didn’t go well for the sprinter.

Nike applauded Elaine’s performance on their ‘Nike Running’ page, which has around 5.7 million followers. However, Sha’Carri Richardson, who finished ninth in the Diamond League race, featured on their main page that has 169 million followers. This did not sit well with Elaine.
