Have you ever thought of watching Elaine Thompson-Herah, Yohan Blake, and Hansle Parchment taking a stride on the same track? Well, it was the scene yesterday on the Usain Bolt track in Jamaica. A mix of experience and youth joined the Olympic spearheads on the same track as Michael Frater and Jaydon Hibbert shared their presence with the luminaries. That entire scene could hint at the fellow Jamaicans’ preparation just before the Paris Olympics under Frater’s experienced eyes. However, that wasn’t the case. 

The Jamaican athletes have shared their hands for the younger generations. Snippets from yesterday’s session from the Usain Bolt track have already seemed to raise the fanfare.

Recently, the Final Leg channel took to its Instagram to share a post featuring some prominent Jamaican stars. The post reads, Elaine Thompson-Herah, Yohan Blake, Hansle Parchment, Michael Frater and Jaydon Hibbert took us through a crash course on how they train right at home in Jamaica.” Elaine Thompson-Herah seems to have enjoyed her time on the Usain Bolt track before starting the outdoor season. Yohan Blake and Hansle Parchment were also not shy about showing their magic. 

In a gathering of several lenses, Blake displayed his habitual initial race response. On the other hand, Parchment flaunted his instinct of toppling hurdles in the 110m race. After all this while, Frater did his part by sharing anecdotes with the present crowd on the track. The entire scene could be the new venture from the Final Leg. However, before getting into the actual outdoor race, yesterday’s session might have played as a starter for them.
