The 26-year-old clocked 21.60 seconds – the quickest time of the year – pipping Sha’Carri Richardson to the title.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The win prevented Richardson, 23, winning a sprint double after <\/span>she secured the 100m title on Friday.<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I was really ready this year. I was hungry. I wanted it more than, I think, anyone,” said Thomas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thomas set the fastest time of the year of 21.86 in the semi-finals, before 200m world champion Shericka Jackson ran 21.71 at the Jamaican championships.<\/span><\/p>\n

But Thomas responded again in the final, securing her spot at next month’s World Championships in Budapest where she will continue her rivalry with Richardson and Jackson.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Every time we step on the track, we have to expect that our competitors are going to just bring it,” said Thomas.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Every time we do step on the track, it’s just going to be a really fast time because it has to be – or else you’re not going to survive this event.”<\/span><\/p>\n
