Moreover, the final standings are similar to the fastest times set this year by these three Jamaicans. Fraser-Pryce set 10.67 seconds earlier this year and set the pace. Thus, this comes as a sensational performance for the talented Jamaican.
Yet another gold for Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce
Shelly-Ann had a terrific start off the blocks and kept running to glory. Jackson finished the race second with a time of 10.73 seconds. Thompson-Herah could only manage 10.81 and finished third. Currently, she has two Olympic gold medals and five World Championship gold medals. She claimed her first gold in 2009 and then won another three in 2013, 2015, and 2o19. Thus, it is one of the greatest sprinting performances of all time with the iconic Usain Bolt winning just three World Championship medals. To run faster each year is a testament to her hard work and dedication as Fraser-Pryce soars on.
