JAMAICA: The three-time Olympic gold medallist, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, didn’t hold back at her son’s sports day as she showcased her Olympic skills and dominated the parents’ 100m race, leaving the other moms far behind her.
For obvious reasons, the 38-year-old Jamaican sprinting legend, who has eight Olympic medals in total, easily won the race and proudly shared some snippets of the fun and memorable family day on her Instagram account.
In her social media post, the athlete mentioned the events that happened:

This wasn’t her first win at her son’s sports day. In 2023, she delivered a similarly dominant performance, showing that when it comes to winning, she doesn’t believe in slowing down, no matter whether the competition is world-class or school-level.
Her comeback
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, known to be Jamaica’s sprint sensation, is set to return to the sport.
A social media post shared by the athlete highlighted a video featuring her greatest races, and it ended with the phrase “unfinished business.” The post caption also read: “Time will honour your greatness… 2025🚀”

She won the Olympic 100m gold twice in a row — at the 2008 Beijing Games and the 2012 London Games.
Moreover, she claimed five world titles in the 100m, including two wins after she gave birth in 2017.
However, at the 2024 Paris Olympics, she had to pull out ahead of the semi-finals due to an injury that she sustained during her warm-up. She was also unable to compete at the 4x100m relay because of this.
