Early Career
Jasmine Abrams was born on August 6, 1994, in Georgetown, Guyana. She emerged early as a talented sprinter, focusing on the 100 m and 200 m events. As a junior athlete she dominated local competitions, earning national titles and drawing interest from coaches in the United States.
Abrams continued her development in the U.S. collegiate track system, racing in NCAA meets and gaining experience against athletes from more competitive programs. Her progression through collegiate competition helped prepare her for international meets and solidified her place on the Guyanese national team.

Path to Enhanced Games
In 2026 Jasmine Abrams confirmed her intention to compete in the inaugural Enhanced Games in Las Vegas, a competition format that allows medically supervised performance enhancement. This decision means she will no longer compete in World Athletics‑sanctioned events, including future Olympic Games.
Her participation has sparked discussion in athletics, but Abrams says she aims to use every available tool to reach her peak potential.
What to Expect in Las Vegas
Jasmine Abrams arrives in Las Vegas as one of the most notable sprinters in the field. Her speed in the 100 m and 200 m, combined with her international experience, gives her a strong foundation for competing at a high level.
In the Enhanced Games context, where medically supervised performance support may enhance physiological capacity, her races - especially the 100 m - could be among the most exciting and closely watched.
