Moreover, she wanted to spend time with her husband and son. Fraser-Pryce thanked her family for their incredible support and sacrifices over the years.

“There’s not a day I’m getting up to go practice and I’m like, ‘I’m over this’. My son needs me. My husband and I have been together since before I won in 2008. He has sacrificed for me. We’re a partnership, a team. And it’s because of that support that I’m able to do the things that I have been doing for all these years. And I think I now owe it to them to do something else,” she said.

The 38-year-old will be competing in the outdoor season with the sprinting line-up having some of the fastest athletes in the world, including Sha'Carri Richardson, Gabby Thomas, Shericka Jackson, and Julien Alfred, among others.
