Despite her incredible result of 10.89seconds in the semi-final, Thompson-Herah decided not to compete in the final.
In 2021, she became the first woman to win back-to-back Olympic sprint doubles when she won gold in the 100m and 200m events at the Tokyo Olympic Games.
In the final, American Twanisha Terry won with a wind-assisted time of 10.77, with fellow countrymates, Alexia Hobbs in second place and Gabby Thomas in third.
Thomas went on to win the 200m with a fastest season time of 22.02 seconds.
