Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce will race in her first meet of the year at the Jamaican trials.
The road to a sixth world 100m title for Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce will begin at the Jamaica Trials from July 6th - 9th after confirming she'll be in Kingston.
Fraser-Pryce affirmed this with a post on her Facebook page.
“Just a girl from Waterhouse who continues to dream and believe! See you at National Trials.”
The reigning world champion was scheduled to compete in her first race of the year at the Kip Keino Classic in Nairobi but withdrew due to sustaining an injury in her warm-up sessions.
Fraser-Pryce has a wild card to compete in the 100m at the World Championships in Budapest as the world champion, so may opt to compete in the 200m in Jamaica.
