Jamaican sprinting star Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce was left pleased with her 100m run at the London Anniversary Games on Saturday, as the IAAF Diamond League made its way to the British capital.
Fraser-Pryce, a two-time Olympic champion and four-time individual gold -medal winner at the World Championships, dipped below 11 seconds for the first time since giving birth to her son Zyon last August.
Competing inside the London Olympic Stadium, the 31-year-old first clocked 11.13 seconds in slightly negative win (-0.4) to win her heat, before returning to the track to stop the clock at 10.98 to win the final shortly afterwards.
She prepares to return to championship competition with next year’s World Championships in Qatar kicking off the next cycle of major global events, completed by the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo and the 2021 World Championships in Eugene, Oregon.
The sprinter, who is yet to consistently execute the bullet start that she is so well-known for, added that she is working to put all phases of her race together.
“Being a mother is my first priority and to come back and be flexible with my training is wonderful, and I’m so excited about next year now,” she added.
