From Waterhouse to the World: Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce shares emotional career retirement video
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce's legacy will always be remembered in the annals of history as the Jamaican sprint legend finally looks ahead to her retirement.
After an impressive 18-year career, during which she dominated the track and became a five-time world 100m champion as well as a two-time Olympic gold medalist, the 38-year-old track icon finally retired at the end of the Tokyo 2025 World Championships.
In her last dance on the track, Fraser-Pryce still showed her resilience and greatness by getting to the women's 100m final, settling for a respectable sixth-place finish, before running a vital first leg for the young Jamaican 4x100m relay squad as they blazed to the silver medal.
