Jamaican sprint queen Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce has reportedly signed a $13.5 million Netflix deal for a 7-episode series that will chronicle her inspiring journey in sprinting.
Fondly called 'Pocket Rocket', the track legend retired this year after competing at the World Championships in Tokyo, where she got to the women's 100m final and ran the lead-off leg for the young Jamaican 4x100m squad as they won the silver medal behind the USA.
And in her very last race, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce literally passes the baton to the next generation of Jamaican sprints.
