Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce shared her honest opinion on competing in the final World Championships of her career in Tokyo. The Jamaican athlete will compete in the 100m event at the competition and will begin her campaign on Saturday, September 13. Fraser-Pryce is scheduled to run the 7th heat of the event, where she will be up against the likes of three-time World Championships medalist Marie Josee Ta Lou-Smith. Just a few hours before the race, the Jamaican veteran shared her feelings about competing in her final World Championships, a competition where she has clinched 10 gold medals. In an interview, Fraser-Pryce said that she doesn't want to think about the emotional side of her retirement from the track after this competition and is rather focused on competing in her races. She said (via Jamaica Gleaner, 00:02 onwards): "It is my last Championship, and I think right now, just because I'm so focused on running each round, I don't want to think about the emotional part of stepping away, because those things can interfere with your preparation." "I am really grateful for being here in this moment because I have said it before, I have passed the hardest part, which was making the national team. So, being here is such a huge blessing, and I'm really excited about an opportunity to be here." Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce's journey to a medal in the 100m event in Tokyo is filled with hurdles. Besides Shericka Jackson and Sha'Carri Richardson, who are experienced campaigners in the circuit, Melissa Jefferson-Wooden has also stepped into the paddles this season and is one of the favorites to win the event.
