Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce recently opened up about her upcoming races in the 2025 season. She made her feelings known following her subpar performance at the Doha Diamond League. The 38-year-old settled in fourth place after clocking 11.05 seconds in the 100m event.
Fraser-Pryce started her 2025 season by competing in Doha after withdrawing from the 2024 Paris Games due to a knee injury that she had navigated for a long period. Born in Waterhouse, Jamaica, Fraser-Pryce has so far earned eight Olympic and 16 World Championship medals. To honor Fraser-Pryce's incredible career, a road in St. Andrew was renamed Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce Drive on Sunday, May 25, 2025. The road was previously known as Ashoka Road.
During the special event, the Jamaican legend expressed her confidence in having the greatest season and expressed her gratitude.
"I believe that this season is going to be my greatest season yet and I'm grateful for all the you the opportunities I get to race in a competition and I'm looking forward to celebrate in this year in my style," Fraser-Pryce said. "As an athlete, I know my body, I know how I feel, and I know what I'm looking forward to and I am excited for where I am at and I am looking forward to where I am going."

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce looked back on her performance and spoke about her struggle to balance her family responsibilities and training after participating in the Doha Diamond League. She emphasized the importance of showing up for her son Zyon as he participates in multiple activities in school.
"We have homework [with her son] and we're still training at 5:00 a.m. and I must say it has been very difficult in the past year because he is much more aware, he is so involved in school," she said. "We have so much else going on so splitting the time between those things can be challenging... Some days are good, some days are not so good." (via olympics.com)
