Odyssey with Yendi: Olympic Champion Elaine Thompson's rise to athletic fame & her ongoing battles!

[@ShanonHibbert]

Who's here because of Jamaicas 123 Olympic win in Tokyo???? Great interview, she has an awesome personality.

[@jeanoconner729]

We must never judge a book by its cover,having a serious face dosen't means you are a bad person.I also have a serious face and people judge us but just get to know us and you'll be blown away by our personality.Elaine,you are amazing you did Jamaica proud,you go girl nuh listen to wah nobody waan fi sey bout yuh,just keep on climbing the ladder of success.THANK YOU YENDI FOR THIS INTERVIEW.

[@breadbutter4221]

While I understand not judging a book by its cover, but people must understand that people naturally don't respond quickly to persons who seem stoic whereas a warm personality is more endearing and easier for people to respond positively to. Smile at the world and the world will smile back at you. That's it. However, she is the Double Olympic Champion twice around first woman ever to accomplish this.

Exactly. Listening to Elaine and Shelly-Ann and Dina-Asher Smith and Gabby Thomas and Allyson Felix speak (all the "and"s are on purpose, LOL) is like a breath of fresh air, not because they are articulate, but also very composed and graceful.
