FOOTBALL: Kenyan referee to take charge of her first match in ongoing FIFA Women’s World Cup
Mary Njoroge has finally been slotted for her first assignment at the ongoing global tournament in Australia New Zealand
On top of being a five-time world 100m champion, the 36-year-old is a three-time Olympic champion, four-time Olympic silver medallist, five-time Diamond League Final winner, and Commonwealth Games champion among her many other accolades.
“I used to refrain from stating clearly what I want and I believe I can run faster – that’s really what has kept me here. I believe that with every fiber of my being," she said, as per Athletics Weekly.
"To be able to run 10.6 consistently last year definitely means that there’s a drop to come. When it comes, I don’t know but that’s what I’m working towards.
"I’m always excited about something new, something undiscovered. I’m also growing my own mind. I wake up every morning and I go to practice and I’m like, “Man, I’m still doing this”. I still feel good, I still feel hungry.”
Despite this year starting off on a bad note for her, Fraser-Pryce is looking forward to defending her world title at the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary. She was set back by a series of injuries that saw her open her track season in July.
She participated in the 200m at the Jamaican Championships where she finished second before winning two of her successive 100m races. She started with a win at the Spitzen Leichathletik in Luzern and two days later, won the 100m at the meeting in Madrid.

American sprint legend identifies Omanyala’s weakness that could limit him from sprinting efficiently
The four-time Olympic champion has high confidence in Africa’s fastest man ahead of the World Championships but thinks his biggest strength could also be his main undoing
She added that she is still learning techniques of the job despite being in the game for a long time.
“I don’t think I have the best technique. I really have to work hard to cement it. It’s something that I have to go to the line and actively process in my head to say ‘This is what we’re doing, this is what we’re doing Shelly’ so I’m still learning to do that," she added.
"I’m still learning technically, how to run the 100m, and every September or October when I go back to practice, it’s like I go with a clean slate. There’s nothing written on the board.
