Andi Sports Management: Less than a year before her attempt to defend her sprint titles at the Paris 2024 Olympics, five-time Olympic champion sprinter Elaine Thompson-Herah has split with her coach Shanikie Osbourne.

Thompson-Herah's agency, Andi Sports Management, said "the professional separation came about due to a breakdown in negotiations on a compensation package for the services that would be provided by Coach Osbourne."

"The package proposed by the former coach; by any measure of what is the norm for such services; was extremely excessive and without any flexibility to negotiate by the other party. Collectively, we had no choice but to seek the services of another coach," the agency said.
