Thomas is a five-time Olympic medalist and the fourth-fastest woman in the history of the 200 meters. She earned three gold medals during the 2024 Paris Olympics, including one in her signature race. A Harvard alum with a master’s in public health, Thomas volunteers with clinics that support uninsured communities while continuing to lead in both athletics and advocacy.
