'Mommy Rocket' Fraser-Pryce about to blast off for the final time
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce extends her sprinting career by one year after complications in Paris, aiming to finish on her own terms with a record eight World Championship appearances.
- For her eighth appearance this week, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce will run the 100 meters at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, which she says is her final on track’s biggest stage outside the Olympics.
- The Tokyo Olympics' disputed gate incident, described as a 'simple mix-up,' contributed to Fraser-Pryce delaying her retirement by a year, she says final.
- Fraser-Pryce's career deepened after becoming a mother to Zyon in 2017, and she said, `I think resilience is knowing your power and owning your power`; she is a three-time Olympic gold medalist and champion for women in sports.
- Off the track, Fraser-Pryce runs the Pocket Rocket Foundation, which has offered almost 100 scholarships and made her a symbol alongside runners-turned-mothers Allyson Felix, Alysia Montano, and Faith Kipyegon.
- Her résumé includes a fifth world 100-meter title in Oregon and a career beginning with her 2008 Olympic debut at age 35.
