As Paris Olympics 2024 Season Starts, 8-Year-Old Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce’s Blazing Performance Goes Viral

Undoubtedly one of the biggest names in the track and field, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce has witnessed the ebbs and flows of an illustrious winning career. The Paris Olympics 2024 will mark her swansong performance on the hallowed tracks, and she is hell-bent on putting a gold icing on the cake. Before that, the 37-year-old staged a grand comeback at the 2023 World Athletics Championships after being rejuvenating from an injury.

To make things easier for her, Fraser-Pryce dotes on the Stade de France, a matter of professional, painstaking greatness and sentimental value. It is this year’s venue for athletic events. 8 years before, the Olympic champion scripted history inside the coveted stadium as the blazing performance goes viral.

Fraser-Pryce’s muscle memory of prior Stade de France feat eggs her for 2024

In the latest update, a Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce fan posted a throwback video of her scintillating 100m sprint inside the Stade de France. The iconic stadium will act as the venue for the Paris Olympics 2024, and Fraser-Pryce will surely look to replicate the heroics from circa 2015, or maybe even surpass the 100m record this time. “Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce has great memories of the Stade de France, the athletics venue for the Olympics this year. #Throwback to the last time she competed there in 2015. She ran 10.74 and broke the meet record!“, the caption of the exhilarating sprint read.

The 8x Olympic medalist scripted history during the IAAF Diamond League 2015 in Paris. Fraser Pryce trod the divine path to glory in the women’s 100m sprint in 10.74 seconds, setting a new meet record. It also marked her personal best, but a few years later, she would go on to clock 10.60 seconds, becoming the third fastest women sprinter of all time. With the upcoming Olympics at the same venue, can the Jamaican star produce another personal best, bringing her closer to greatness?

Fraser Pryce looks up to world record

With 3 Olympic golds, 4 silvers, and one bronze, Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce is truly the finest export from the hamlets of Jamaica. While she ranks 3rd on the fastest women 100m charts, the 37-year-old must be eyeing the 25-year-old record to cap off an incredible career. American sprinter Florence Griffth-Joyner stands as the fastest 100m women sprinter, clocking 10.49 seconds in July 1988. Next in line is the Jamaican athlete Elaine Thompson, with 10.54 seconds.

In 2015, she bettered her record by 0.5 seconds to clock 10.74 seconds. This time she would be even more determined, needing 1.1 seconds to script history. However, given the toll age takes, overtaking a fellow Jamaican will still be a tremendous achievement. Nonetheless, it would be nostalgic to see her bid farewell after the Olympics, seeing the undying legacy she’s left behind, a maxim for aspiring sprinters to envision.
