Second place isn't where Gabby Thomas wants to finish. But it isn't the worst place to start. The American sprinter is charging into the Tokyo Olympics as the second-fastest woman ever in the 200-meters, having left her competition in the dust at trials last month with the winning time of 21.61 seconds.
