From 2008 to date, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce has made every national team to a major championship, bar in 2017 when she took time off for the birth of her son Zyon.

No doubt Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is the most consistent female sprinter in history, and she has proven it once again after making her 13th national team to a major championship at the Jamaican trials.

The legendary sprint queen running in her last race on home soil, gave the fans a memorable bow out by finishing third in the women's 100m final, clocking a Season's Best (SB) of 10.91s.

Tina Clayton won in a new PB of 10.81s (0.1), while Shericka Jackson finished third in 10.88s as the trio booked their spots on the Jamaican women's 100m team to the world championships in Tokyo in September.

With her confirmed slot, it'll be Fraser-Pryce's 13th national team to a major international championship, and it'll be her eighth appearance at the world championship, where she already has five world titles.

This proves her consistency through the years since her maiden appearance at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, where she became Jamaica's first gold medallist in history in the women's 100m event.

Since then, the 38-year-old sprint icon has mostly dominated the women's sprint division for 17 years and it's set to culminate at the World Championships in Tokyo this summer.

Fraser-Pryce's iconic status encapsulates ten world titles, four Olympic gold and three silver medals, and a five-time Diamond League champion. So winning a medal in Tokyo this summer will only be the final icing on the cake to her legendary career.
