Jamaica’s Thompson out of Lausanne meet with shin pain

Jamaican sprinter Kishane Thompson has been forced to withdraw from the Lausanne meet due to shin pain, as confirmed by the event organizers in a statement on Monday. Thompson has been experiencing discomfort in his shin since defeating Olympic champion Noah Lyles over the weekend in Poland, where he clocked a joint meet record time.

This victory came as a significant achievement for Thompson, who finished ahead of Lyles in their first meeting since the latter's Olympic gold win in Paris last year. Thompson's absence from the Lausanne meet is a setback for the athlete, who will now focus on recovering from his shin injury before returning to competition.
