Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce reveals why she withdrew from 100m semi-finals at Paris Olympics
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce recently discussed why she withdrew from the 100m semi-finals at the Paris Olympics. The Jamaican suffered an injury during the warm-up before the semi-finals, marking her last Olympic appearance.
In an interview with Marie Claire, Fraser-Pryce said:
"It would’ve been one thing if this happened at the beginning of my warm-up. I wanted to do it for my country, but then I had to ask 'what’s right for me?' I was probably having a panic attack. I felt I could see it in front of me, and it was ripped [out of my hands]."
"I'm a warrior, I'm a fighter. I love rising to the occasion. I only ran one or two races going into that meet. People probably thought it was gonna be a stretch, but it wasn't a stretch to me. I like competing on my own terms. I like to exit on my own terms. That's not how I wanted to do it."
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is also the only sprinter to win five World Championship gold medals in the 100m.
