Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce brings Olympic speed to son’s sports day | Sport-others News
Participants in the parents’ 100m race at a school in Jamaica were on the receiving end of some unfair competition as they had to share the track with arguably the greatest female runner in the hory of track and field.
Triple Olympic champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce stepped on to the line during her son’s Zyon’s sports day on Wednesday and blitzed the field comprising fellow mothers.
Footage on Instagram showed the 38-year-old, who climbed an Olympic podium no less than eight times, ran in the middle lane and finished more than four seconds ahead of the field.

Though the result of the race was no surprise, given that Fraser-Pryce is the third-fastest woman in hory, it showed her commitment to be at events important for her son. She had pulled off a similar win in the same event in 2023.

The legend took the race with utmost seriousness and even warmed up on the start line on the patchy grass track. She began stretching out her legs with a high-knee run while the other parents gathered around the starting line.
“They haven’t banned me yet so I’m at the line,” Fraser-Pryce, who won back-to-back 100m Olympic titles in 2008 and 2012 and then won the 4x100m relay gold at the Tokyo Olympics, wrote along with the clip of her win.
The Jamaican legend had a disappointing Paris Olympics last year, her final Games, when she missed her 100m semi-final after sustaining an injury during the warm-up.
Fraser-Pryce has declared that she has some “unfinished business” on the track, and could aim to go out on a high at the World Championships, scheduled to be held in the Japanese capital in September. Apart from her exploits on the Olympic stage, she is a 10-time world champion.
