Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce Bids for Sprinting Immortality at Tokyo Olympics

News 18  

Jamaican “Pocket Rocket” Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is juggling being the fastest woman alive with motherhood as she bids for a third 100m Olympics gold — 13 years after her first triumph. The Jamaican veteran comes to Tokyo in fine fettle after running a personal best of 10.63 seconds in “super spikes” in June to become the second-fastest woman of all time behind late US sprinter Florence Griffith Joyner, who timed 10.49sec. “I’ve been working so hard, been so patient and to see it finally unfold, I’m just ecstatic.” American Carmelita Jeter, whose time of 10.64sec she beat, congratulated Fraser-Pryce on her performance. UNICEF Jamaica named her as a goodwill ambassador in 2010, calling her “one of the nation’s most accomplished female athletes and a passionate defender of children’s rights”.
