The upcoming season holds significant importance for Thomas, not only for her individual goals but also as a key stakeholder in Alexis Ohanian’s innovative league, Athlos, which is scheduled to launch next year. She joins other prominent athletes like Sha’Carri Richardson and Tara Davis-Woodhall in backing the new venture.

Thomas recently looked back on her triumphant 2024 Paris Olympics campaign, where she secured an impressive three gold medals in the 200m, 4x100m, and 4x400m events. She attributed her success to years of dedication and perseverance.

"I was resilient over the last many years; that medal was years in the making," Thomas explained. "I think what sets me apart from other athletes in the sport is just that ability to bounce back from losing, that ability to learn from each year before, and staying consistent, committed, staying driven, and it paid off."

She also reflected on her experience at the previous Olympic Games, highlighting the personal significance of her first medal.

"Tokyo Olympics was such a great experience for me. I went in suddenly as a gold medal favorite, and I got a bronze in the 200m. I think a lot of people see it as a failure for me, but I love that medal; it’s my favorite medal," she stated.

Thomas elaborated that despite her subsequent gold medal victories, the bronze from Tokyo remains special because it validated her standing as a world-class competitor on the track.
