Hometown hero Thompson-Herah brings early Christmas to Banana Ground

#JamaicaGleaner
Elaine Thompson-Herah, the world’s fastest woman alive, zipped into Banana Ground, Manchester, on Saturday and brought Christmas cheer to residents who turned out for their hometown hero. The five-time Olympic champion personally distributed care packages to the locals and paused in between handing out packages to pose for photos with locals who wanted to capture the moment with Thompson-Herah, the World Female Athlete of the Year for 2021.
