Nickisha Pryce will be favored to win most of the 400m competitions in 2025, assuming she had good Recovery after Paris – 2024. Tia Clayton should demonstrate much improvement in the 100m. Fans are unsure what to expect from Elaine Thompson – Herah, Shelly Ann Fraser Pryce and Shericka Jackson – “the Big 3” in 2025. It is possible that all three will decide to move on and live a life of Luxury. If Elaine Thompson Herah does not get her Achilles heel fixed, she will not perform at her best and will depart from the Sport.

Julien Alfred (Juju) took the Paris 2024 path to becoming an Olympian. Fans did not expect her to be ready before Los Angeles 2028. With that early arrival and sacrifice behind the scene, she made St. Lucia Proud. Julien Alfred (Juju) is aware that winning can become a habit. There is nothing to fear but fear itself. If Julien looks over shoulder in 2025 and sees no Jamaican challenging, then she will have a good season. However, Fans anticipate Tia Clayton to challenge. Having said that Julien Alfred (Juju) has unfinished business in the 200m. Physically she can run the event but she has to reconcile the mental.
