Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce on taking pride in representing Jamaica after sealing fifth Olympic qualification ticket

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce opened up about representing Jamaica after punching her ticket to her fifth Olympic Games in Paris, France.
Having battled with an injury last season and starting her season late, Fraser-Pryce has proved to be the one to watch at the Olympic Games after her third-place finish at the Jamaican Olympic trials.
She clocked 10.94s to cross the 100m finish line behind two-time world 100m silver medallist Shericka Jackson (10.84s) and 19-year-old Tia Clayton (10.90s).
After the race, Fraser-Pryce expressed her elation to have claimed another ticket to the Olympics, explaining how her fans have played a huge role in her qualification.
"I’m always grateful to get an opportunity to represent the black, green, and gold and for me to have the reception here was really welcoming and I want to thank the fans for their continued support. I know it has been challenging for Jamaican sprinting but we want to show the world that we are still here," she said (Pulse Sports Uganda).
The 37-year-old made her Olympic debut at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games where she won the 100m title. She then competed in the preliminaries of the relays but did not compete in the final.
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce then proceeded to the 2012 London Olympic Games, where she won the 100m and finished second in the 200m and the 4x100m women’s relay team. At the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, Fraser-Pryce finished third in the 100m and second in the 4x100m relay.
During the delayed 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, she finished second in the 100m, fourth in the 200m, and won the 4x100m relay.
