Fraser-Pryce wins 100m world title

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, reports the Guardian.
Gold here in Eugene was delivered in classic Fraser-Pryce style. She exploded out the blocks, picked up far faster than her rivals, and put the race to bed long before she glided across the line in 10.67 – far ahead of her compatriots Shericka Jackson, who took silver in 10.73, and Tokyo Olympic champion Elaine Thompson-Herah, who claimed bronze in 10.81.
Britain’s Dina Asher-Smith ran her heart out, and equalled her national record of 10.83, but it was only good enough for fourth. “It sucks,” she admitted. “I was so close.”
But this night was about Fraser-Pryce who – incredibly – won her first Olympic 100m title as far back as 2008, a day after Usain Bolt gatecrashed into the sporting stratosphere.
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.
