Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, who is regarded as one of the greatest female athletes and most successful in the history of the World Athletics Championships, has decided to hang up her boots after the 2024 Paris Olympics.

She first confirmed that the Paris Olympics would be her last appearance at the quadrennial Games through a Facebook post in 2023, stating:

“Shelly-Ann is my name, running is my fame! I got Paris on my mind…..My 5th and final one for all time 🇯🇲😁🚀💯 🙏🏾”

She went on to confirm that she will retire after the Games in an interview with Essence.com, adding:

“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.”

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce’s most successful event at the Olympics is the 100m sprint event in which she won four medals, including two gold, one silver, and one bronze each.
