Looking at the race, one could easily say that it was a piece of cake for the Olympic champion, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. Though a more interesting fact is that it was her season’s best time in 200m. Beside the Jamaican legend were Brittany Brown and Anthonique Strachan in second and third place, respectively.
Shelly-Ann is now 35-years-old. While others at her age would have happily retired, she keep on delivering sensational victories one after the other. However, with her ongoing form, it’s hard to say whether she is even considering retirement from the sport anytime soon.
