Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce partners with Richard Mille ahead of 2024 Paris Olympics

Olympic gold medalist and world champion, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, has partnered with Richard Mille, a Swiss luxury watch company ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The 36-year-old has entered into a partnership with the luxury brand while keeping her sights fixed on the upcoming Olympics. Fraser-Pryce has eight Olympic medals, including three gold, four silver and one bronze medal from four Olympic Games.

Along with Fraser-Pryce, the brand has also signed up with Belgian athlete and two-time Olympic gold medalist Nafi Thiam. Other athletes who joined Fraser-Pryce include South African sprinter Akani Simbine, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics high jump gold medalist Mutaz Essa Barshim and Spanish athlete Maria Vicente.

The luxury watch brand had previously signed up with other Jamaican sprinters, including Yohan Blake.

Expressing her thoughts about the new partnership with Richard Mille, the world champion said:

"It’s about pushing barriers! People have always told me what I could or couldn’t do, I wanted to be part of a brand that knows about timing and where age doesn’t limit your progress. At the end of the day, we have the same vision as it pertains to our legacy. What we want to achieve is timeless."

The Jamaican sprinter, also known as 'Pocket Rocket,' joins the Richard Mille family as one of the most decorated female athletes of all time.
