Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, a three-time Olympic champion and one of the greatest sprinters of all time, plans to retire after the 2024 Games. The 37-year-old Jamaican athlete believes she owes it to her family, particularly her son and husband, who have supported her throughout her career. Fraser-Pryce wants to finish on her own terms and show people that they have the power to decide when to stop. She has an impressive track record, with three Olympic gold medals, four silvers, and a bronze, as well as 10 world titles. In 2019, she became the oldest woman to win the 100m world title, and she aims to inspire the next generation of athletes to dream big.
Fraser-Pryce’s success at the Olympics includes three gold medals in the 100m (2008, 2012) and the 4x100m relay (2020). She has also won four silver medals in the 100m (2020), 200m (2012), and the 4x100m relay (2012, 2016), as well as one bronze in the 100m (2016). At the World Championships, she has won 10 gold medals, including five in the 100m (2009, 2013, 2015, 2019, 2022), one in the 200m (2013), and four in the 4x100m relay (2009, 2013, 2015, 2019). She has also earned five silver medals in the 200m (2022) and the 4x100m relay (2007, 2011, 2022, 2023), as well as one bronze in the 100m (2023).
Fraser-Pryce’s impact goes beyond her athletic achievements. She believes in not being selfish and wants to inspire others to dream big. She wants to create opportunities for the next generation of athletes and show them that they can make a difference.
