The Greatest Women's 200m Melissa Jefferson Defeats Gabby Thomas
The Philadelphia stop of the Grand Slam Track series on May 31, 2025, produced one of the most dramatic women’s 200-meter clashes of the year. Under steady rain and in front of an energized crowd, Melissa Jefferson-Wooden delivered the shock of the evening by overpowering Olympic gold medalist Gabby Thomas and storming to victory in a lifetime best of 21.99 seconds. The run not only handed her the win but also rewrote the facility record, signaling that she has become one of the most threatening athletes in the sprinting world.
Right from the gun, Jefferson-Wooden stamped her authority on the race. Better known for her explosiveness in the 100 meters, she carried that same ferocity into the half-lap distance with remarkable control. By the time the athletes came around the curve, she had already separated herself from the rest, putting Thomas in the rare position of having to chase instead of dictate the tempo. Thomas usually terrorizes the final stretch with her huge closing gears, but the unusual Philadelphia layout—with its generous turn and shorter home straight—favored Jefferson-Wooden’s style perfectly. Entering the last portion of the race, she understood she had roughly 75 meters left to protect her lead, and she held firm with total confidence.
