Olympic track star Gabby Thomas punched her ticket to the fall 2025 Tokyo World Championships in style over the weekend. 

The 200-meter sprinter, 28, stunned in a neon pink outfit when she left it all on the track at the 2025 USA Track and Field Championships held in Eugene, Oregon on Sunday, August 3, clinching a third place finish. 

She completed the look with a sleek ponytail, while her neon-two piece crop top and fitted bike shorts showed off her toned stomach.

Social media lit up with support for Thomas after the photos of her stunning neon pink fit went viral.

Gabby Thomas 'put it all out there' to secure fifth U.S. team spot

Shortly after her win, Thomas celebrated her latest victory on Instagram. 

"Just made my fifth US team!!! Not quite the time on the clock I would’ve liked to see, but proud of how I show up. Plenty of time to chop some wood before I see y’all in Tokyo for 2025 World Championships this fall," she captioned the post. 

"Thank you to everyone who continues to support me on my track & field journey. We’re far from done," Thomas continued. 

It was an important top-three finish for the Olympic sprinter, who didn't have an automatic bye into Tokyo's World Championships in September. Only the reigning champs from the 2023 event automatically qualified. 

"I put it all out there," Thomas said after the event, according to "Olympics.com."

"It would have been a big disappointment for me to train this hard and not make this team," the 28-year-old track star added. 

The top three finishers from each event qualified for the 2025 World Athletic Championships. In the Women's 200-meter competition, Melissa Jefferson-Wooden earned the top spot at 21.84. 

Anavia Battle finished second at 22.12 with Thomas trailing right behind her to secure the third place win at 22.20.
