Securing 16 medals in World Championships collectively, Shelly-Ann-Fraser-Pryce is a force nobody can mess with. A season-best time was at the Jamaican?s store and the penultimate day at Budapest saw Shelly-Ann playing a pivotal role. Despite her best efforts on the second leg of 4 x 100m relay, Pryce couldn’t secure a victory for her team.

Winning 10 gold and 16 silver medals, she maintained her consistency to take Jamaican Sprinting atop. The 36-year-old sprinter began by capturing the gold medal in the 100m event at the 2008 Olympics, and her journey didn’t stop there. Achieving a personal best time of 10.60 seconds in the 100m, it’s only a matter of moments for Pryce to surpass Felix.

Pryce?s road to success resonates with the GOAT Felix?s. The latter put the world on alert when she made her showbiz entry in Athens 2004. The world has been at her feet since. She grabbed 18 medals in 18 World Championship finals, without missing out a medal in any. The conclusion of her athletic career was displayed in Doha, where she bagged her 19th and 20th medal. The undefeatable Allyson has someone about to surpass her soon.
