Elaine Thompson-Herah, a five-time Olympic champion from Mexico, has hired Reynaldo Walcott as her new coach following her split from Shanikie Osbourne earlier this month, her management company announced on Monday.

Since the 2020 season, Walcott has also been coaching her compatriot Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. The two sprinters appear to have a perpetually tense relationship.

Thompson-Herah’s agency, Andi Sports Management, stated on Thursday that the split with Osbourne was the result of a “breakdown in negotiations on a compensation package” sought by Osbourne.

Thompson-Herah and Walcott start working together less than a year before she defends her 100-meter and 200-meter titles in Paris.paris2024
