PUMA Signs Fastest Woman Alive Elaine Thompson-Herah

Elaine Thompson-Herah is the first woman in history to win the “sprint double” at consecutive Olympics, capturing gold in both the 100 meter and 200 meter at the 2016 Rio Olympics and again at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Apart from her historic Olympic achievements, Elaine Thompson-Herah became the fastest woman alive when she ran 10.54 seconds at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, USA, in 2021. “We are thrilled that Elaine has chosen to join the PUMA family,” said PUMA CEO Bjørn Gulden.
