Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce has assured she'll be running a fast time at the Kip Keino Classic in Kenya this weekend.
World's fastest woman Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce will finally make her season's debut at the Kip Keino Classic in Kenya this weekend.
Fraser-Pryce was scheduled to open her season at the Botswana Golden Grand Prix but pulled out of the championship days before the meet citing a family emergency.

Now ready and good to go, the Jamaican track legend released a promotional video confirming her presence in Kenya and promising a fast time.
"Last year was awesome and fantastic. The stadium was filled with excitement, and noise, and crowd, and music, and it was so much fun.
"We're gonna have some fun, we're gonna show up, and of course, we're gonna run some fast time," said Fraser-Pryce in the video.
The world champion's maiden appearance was in 2022, where she ran a blazing 10.67s for victory in the women's 100m. She will later surpass the 10.70s mark seven times throughout last season, one of those performances – her 10.67s for the World title in Oregon – was a Championship Record (CR).
Fraser-Pryce became the first athlete to win five world titles in a single individual running event. Her victory in Oregon came almost fourteen years after her first global 100m title, making her the oldest-ever World Champion in a track event.
