Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce's 100m contender Shericka Jackson has lauded the 37-year-old for always being an inspiration to other sprinters and praised her for running at her age. She also considered Fraser-Pryce the ideal example of a comeback after pregnancy.

"The first time I saw Shelly run was in 2008 at the Olympics and she has been amazing since and to be at this age where she is so old and is running so fast after having her son is something inspirational to many especially those who have a baby and want to come back. I think that opened their eyes to know that after a baby you still can do it," Jackson said.

Jackson also said that running with the 37-year-old Jamaican has always been amazing:

"It might not work for everybody but it definitely worked for her and I think she inspired so many mums that went and had their babies and there are so many who came back and are doing amazing. I’ve always watched her run and to be in a race with her cause we were with her at the Olympics, we were with her at the World Championships twice and it’s just something amazing."

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce will be squaring off against the likes of Sha'Carri Richardson, Shericka Jackson, and some more athletes in 100m at the Paris Olympics.
