Can see where she comes from .........solid foundation........what a priveledge to have such a young granddad.....you deserve every inch of your medals Gabby girl ❤
Gramps, you already know she's going to be successful in everything she applies herself to. I think you might need to buy a warehouse to store the enormous amount of pride you must have right now.
The problem is trying to pull rank or insinuate disrespect by only claiming Jamaican instead of being able to support all diasporic Africans who have to often overcome many challenges to achieve. So celebrate this woman and stop with the devisiveness
Agreed. I noticed the same thing. That is why I told them they just had to screw up the comment section. They always have to bring their toxicity into the equation. I am starting to think that is an innate trait of theirs.
I guess the problem is the mothers who are NOT JAMAICANs are raising the children of Jamaican fathers in the US or europe so people and some of the children like Gabby have less to say about that side
Facts... Everyone except Charri on the US and British track sprint team has some Jamaican connections... Gabby. dad is Jamaican... Even the St Vincent queen Alfred actually went to high school in Jamaica and compete in the prestigious girl / boy high school championship....
Melissa, Twanisha, Brittany, Makenzie, nor Sha’Carri have “Jamaican connections”. We can also go down the list for Men’s as well. What are you talking about?!
Stop lying on our American athletes, Melissa Jefferson who ran the 1st leg of the 4x100 is Black American born & raised in Georgetown, South Carolina, TT Terry 2nd leg Black American Born & Raised Miami, Florida, 3rd Leg Gabby Thomas born in Atlanta, GA & raised in Florence, Massachusetts, 4th Leg Sha’Carri Richardson born & raised in Dallas, TX. All of them are Southern Black Americans. Although Gabby Thomas didn’t grow up in the South, she was born in Atlanta, GA & her ppl as you just saw are still in the South, Mobile, Alabama. Gabby is the only one that is of both Black American & Jamaican ancestry, yet her nationality is still American. Also, TT Terry has a very distinguishable Floridian Southern accent, that Black Americans can easily pick up on, so don’t know what you talkin about & as far as the British Team is concerned Idk but our ladies are Black Americans🤨
@@jessicam.4777It’s bcuz they did so poorly this Olympics they are trying to say that now all of a sudden that All our Black American athletes are some how now Jamaican😖😂
Ha! All these commenters arguing, meanwhile the girl is just trying to go eat some Italian pizza 🍕 lol! Leave her be. Very few diasporans in the Americas are "pure bred"
@ou8r122 American 200m national champion Gabby Thomas has credited her Jamaican roots for her speed. At a press conference ahead of the Monaco leg of the Wanda Diamond League, Thomas, whose father is Jamaican, made the remark while expressing that she was grateful for the support she gets from Jamaicans. “I do really love the fanbase in Jamaica. They’re so amazing and supportive. I make sure that everyone knows that I am Jamaican because I do believe that’s where I get my fast roots from,” I’m not going to sugarcoat it, that’s what it is,” she continued.
@ou8r122 Eh its just more proof why Black Americans shouldn't mix with outsiders. Also shes not proud to be Black American. She has 6 ancestors behind her 4 grandparents, 2 parents. 1 out of the 6 are Jamican. Nggas dont push lineage and thats yall problem
@@DoDahhhhhhhhhYou sure about that?? She’s not proud of her Black American side….When she was raised by her Mother Jennifer Randall whom was a single parent that raised both her & her twin brother yet still managed to get her PhD & is a Professor of Psychometrics & Test Development at the University of Michigan. Gabby has already acknowledged this much in interviews. Here’s an excerpt from one of those interviews, “Watching her be a single parent without two pennies to rub together and working her way up and to being what she is now, a successful Professor living out her dreams and starting a non-profit to help people get an education…I mean that was a lot to watch.” Gabby added “It really showed what true work ethic was and it showed me you can achieve your dreams with hard work and that anything is possible.” Gabby Thomas StyleCaster-Sophie Hanson So before you go hyper inflate this whole JM thing, give credit where credit is due & not disrespect her Black American Mother & her extended family to include her Grandparents whom were a major part of her upbringing & success🤨😖
@choochooj9738 She the one going around hollering about being Jamican. She not even half Jamican, she a quarter or less. So miss me with that paragraph. Maybe Black Americans need to teach more ethnic pride instead of mixing with all thesa foreigners

Gabby Thomas Mother is Black American, that was her Mother’s Father, so that is her Maternal Grandfather 😖🤦🏾 Did you hear a Jamaican accent?? Her Mothers ppl are from the South, they were in Mobile, Alabama buddy. Yal need to quit trying so hard to claim American athletes….Gabby is of both Black American & Jamaican ancestry. Gabby was born in Atlanta, Georgia that’s about as Black American as it gets🤦🏾😂😂
Yal are insufferable….Gabby Thomas was raised by her Mother, Jennifer Randall whom was a single parent that managed to raise both her & twin brother yet still obtained her PhD & is a Professor of Psychometrics & Test Development at the University of Michigan. She credits her Mother for showing her good work ethics & that hard work pays off. Gabby has already acknowledged this much in interviews. She was also the one to encourage Gabby to run track, so give credit where credit is due. How you suppose we would be nothing without yal when we have some of the best athletes in the world & not just in Track.

Don’t know if you recall Carmelita Jeter beat SFP a few times & vice versa, they would still be each other’s greatest competition if not for a career ending injury that caused Jeter to retire from track. So we don’t need any help in the athletic department, we have done quite well for ourselves as far back as the 1930’s with Jessie Owens at the Berlin Olympic Games & Wilma Rudolph with the 1960 Rome Olympic Games😉☺️🇺🇸
@@choochooj9738 go watch gabby interview when she spoke about her Jamaican side and her track involvement before you start typing! And Jeter beat Shelly in 2011 ONLY!

@@trudykroll7429Forgot to add Carmelita Jeter beat SFP at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Oregon 2011, like I said she was SFP greatest competition & they would still be dueling it out today if not for a career ending injury that caused Carmelita Jeter to retire. Also, her brother played for the Sacramento Kings NBA team, so Black Americans have always been just as athletic😉

God bless the family.
She has it all so proud of this young lady, her family and her friends.
Also her boyfriend is also great.
Amazing achiever.
I bet he is so proud of her! ❤
You can tell she has a great upbringing.

Everyone is on code and seems to be media trained in her family. It’s clear to see she was raised around a good community 🙏🏾
