Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce
To no one’s surprise, Jamaican Sprinter Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, has qualified for the Tokyo Olympics.
On Friday at the Jamaican Olympic trials in Kingston, the world’s fastest woman completed her first step towards what she hopes to be her third Olympic gold medal. Fraser-Pryce secured her spot in Tokyo by running a swift 10.71 second 100m dash, winning the precursor competition.
The 34 year old set the track world on fire earlier this month with her 10.63 second sprint, good for second best all-time in the women’s 100m. Sitting less than two tenths of a second behind the world record time of 10.49 set by Florence Griffith-Joyner in 1988.
