Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is unarguably one of the greatest sprinters in athletics history

"I haven’t confirmed that (retirement), so when I do, I’ll let you know,” she said.

Rumours on Fraser-Pryce's retirement began after the Jamaican sprint queen posted an inspiring video on her Instagram page with the title: 'unfinished business', which engulfed moments of her legendary career that saw her become a five-time world 100m champion and two-time Olympic gold medallist.

Shortly after this, a representative from her camp confirmed it as her final season, with many track fans and enthusiasts already embracing and looking forward to moments of her final performances on the track.

With her finally putting an end to the speculations, Fraser-Pryce will be gunning to enjoy her races as the season progresses with the goal of making the Jamaican team to the World Championships in Tokyo this summer, and fans can relax on the possibilities of her career extending for a few more years before eventually hanging her spikes.
