Gold was delivered in classic Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce style at the world championships as the Jamaican glided across the line in 10.67sec
Jamaica’s queen of the track has her crown back again. And, even at the grand age of 35, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce somehow keeps finding fresh ways to shatter records and defy the laws of sporting gravity.
Since then she has won world titles in 2009, 2013, 2015, 2019 and now 2022. After the birth of her son Zyon in 2017 through a caesarean section, she feared she would never get her core strength back, let alone return to her best. Instead with every passing year her legend has only grown. Who would now dare doubt that she is the greatest female sprinter of them all? Not when this victory made her the first athlete to win five world titles in an individual running event – as well as the oldest ever world champion on the track, surpassing Justin Gatlin.
However when asked about the secret of her success, Fraser-Pryce opted for a simpler explanation. “I am a competitor,” she replied. “I love to compete.”Photograph: Sam Barnes/Sportsfile/Getty Images “I couldn’t see anything from lane eight,” Asher-Smith said afterwards. “That’s both a positive and a negative. You run without the effect of tensing up, but also you can’t see anyone on your shoulder. It was a good run from me. A very good run. Unfortunately, it was fourth, but the calibre of the final was amazing.”
