He won a medal at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia, finishing third behind Maurice Green and Ato Boldon of Trinidad and Tobago. Thompson finished fourth in the 200m race.
In April 1996 in El Paso, Texas, Thompson ran what was then the fastest 100m run in history. He measured a time of 9.69 seconds.[6] However, this was achieved with a tailwind of 5.0 m/s, well above the IAAF permitted limit of 2.0 m/s, and the mark was not officially recognised. His time was bettered by Tyson Gay 12 years later, who ran 9.68 seconds per 100 m in a tailwind of 4.1 m/s during the 2008 US trials. Thompson's time of 9.69 was later legally equaled by Usain Bolt at the 2008 Olympics, who recorded the same time but with a tailwind of 0.0 m/s. In the 2009 World Championships in Athletics, Bolt improved his world record to 9, 58 s, with a tailwind of +0.9 m/s.
His fastest legal 100 m time is 9.87, and he ran his 200 m personal best time of 19.97 in 2000.
Following the 2000 Olympics, Thompson was made an "ambassador and special envoy to youth" by former Barbadian Prime Minister Owen Arthur.
