Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce: 7 legendary races she engraved her name in the history books
Having made it public that her lauded career will end at Paris Olympic Games, here's a look at 7 legendary races Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce wrote her name in the history books.
In the video, Fraser-Pryce could be heard shouting "Go let's go Zyon," as her son attacked the goalpost before he scored.
It isn't the first time that the five-time world champion will make her presence felt at his school's sports-day activities.
Last year, she went viral after blazing through a competition of mothers in a friendly sports day race. She ran through the competition with a rather unbelievable pace, completing the short 100-meter dash before many of the other competitors even reached the halfway point.
The 37-year-old will then share a video montage on Instagram with a hilarious caption.
“Last Friday was Sports Day at Zyon’s school!! I feel like I’ve been waiting all my life for this moment,” wrote Fraser-Pryce.
“I initially had no intention of running in the parent race — even my coach advised me not to run, but my teammates weren’t doing so hot.
“Zyon ran his first race and fell. He tried again and got bronze in the obstacle race. So, I sent Jason to handle business and bring home the gold in the male-parent race, but that didn’t go so well either 🥴.

Shelly-Ann's Doppelganger? Popular American media outlet mistakes Jamaica's track star Fraser-Pryce for Abby Phillip
Is Abby Phillip a clone of Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce? Well, TMZ thinks so as their viral post got people talking here's why they can't be blamed for the mistake.
“And as an Olympian, it just didn’t make sense for us to leave without bringing home a single piece of gold 🥇 so I decided to race.”
“We ended up getting two bronze medals, overall 4th place, a participation medal, and a first place medal in the women’s parent race to redeem the Pryce family name.”
With Zyon not performing excellently in an athletics event but did well in his football game and even scored a goal, it won't be a surprise when the 8-year-old becomes a Jamaican future football star.
