Notably, Fraser-Pryce announced the launch of her brand ‘Afimi’ in July 2024. Via a collaborative Instagram post, the 38-year-old said:

“I’ve designed these products with you in mind to keep your hair feeling and performing its best no matter what comes your way. This line is a vibrant tribute to Jamaica, inspired by its lush resources and welcoming essence — each ingredient naturally sourced from the earth to enhance your natural beauty.”

Later in November, Fraser-Pryce and Asher-Smith attended the Nike Women Think Tank retreat in Cancun, Mexico. Two-time Olympic medalist and American sprint star Sha'Carri Richardson also joined the two at the event. As ambassadors for the global brand Nike, they engaged in conversations related to women’s empowerment and the growth of sports.

Competing in her final Olympic Games in Paris, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce featured in the women’s 100m, clocking a remarkable time of 10.92s in her heats. Unfortunately, Fraser-Pryce did not compete in the semi-finals due to an undisclosed injury, missing the chance to medal in her last Olympic appearance.

Meanwhile, Dina Asher-Smith competed in the women’s 100m but exited in the semi-finals with a time of 11.10 seconds. After the race, she expressed her disappointment during a post-event interview, stating:

“I feel like I am in a great place, great shape, I am very, very disappointed. It’s frustrating, full stop…I fully know that I am capable and fully know that I should have been able to produce. I am shocked and disappointed.”

However, Asher-Smith bounced back strongly in the individual 200m, where she narrowly missed out on a medal as she finished fourth with 22.22s. She played a crucial role in Great Britain’s silver-medal win in the women’s 4x100m relay where the team achieved a time of 41.85s.
