The year 2024 saw Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce start her season later than usual, kicking off her campaign at the JAA Olympic French Foray 3 just before the Jamaican Trials. After qualifying for the Paris Olympics at the trials, the eight-time Olympic medalist competed in the 100m race at the Games.
Although she qualified for the semifinals with a time of 10.92s in her heats, Fraser-Pryce was forced to withdraw from the semis due to an injury sustained during warmup.
The news left her fans heartbroken as she had previously announced that this would be her last quadrennial games. Notably, this was also her final competition of 2024. However, she didn’t announce her retirement in 2024, indicating that she would return in 2025.
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce spoke after qualifying for her fifth Olympic Games in Paris
Following her qualification for a fifth Olympic Games at the Jamaican National Championships (trials) for the Paris Games, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce opened up about her challenging season and maintaining her faith in God. Crediting God for her success, she said in a post-event interview (in July 2024):
“It has been a challenging season this year. But, for me, it's really faith and perseverance and really just trusting the team around me. And, ultimately God is good. You know, I owe him all the glory and the credit for tonight because I think tonight was less about my natural abilities and more about the supernatural abilities.”
She further expressed her gratitude, calling qualifying for the national team itself a big accomplishment, adding:
“So, I'm grateful for that and I made the team. I think that's always been the priority to come on here to make the team and to give myself a chance to represent the country at the Olympic Games in Paris. I'm grateful, you know, this is my fifth Olympic Games and I'm really looking forward to it. I think I've said before that no national team has ever been easy to make so to be able to make them in that big accomplishment, so I'm grateful.”
Notably, Fraser-Pryce qualified for the Paris Olympics through her impressive performance in the 100m at the trials where she ran a 10.94s, which placed her third in the final and ensured her qualification.
