It takes natural raw talent and drive, solid coaching, and a level of motivation that is unmatched by anything else if an athlete wants to have a successful career in track and field.

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce has this quality in spades, and she once again displayed her iron will and her ability to sprint on Sunday, when she won the women’s 100-meter dash for a record-setting fifth time.

The individual, who is 35 years old, has said that “the secret to my success is that I am a competitor, I love to compete, and I think that God has given me a talent.”

She raced home at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, with her signature flowing hair that had been dyed, and she set a championship record with a time of 10.67 seconds.

Elaine Thompson-Herah, a four-time Olympic sprint champion, won bronze, while her teammate Shericka Jackson won silver with a personal best time of 10.73 seconds (10.81).

What is particularly noteworthy about Fraser-Victory is the speed with which she completed the race; specifically, she won her fifth gold medal at the age of 35 at a time that was quicker than the times with which she triumphed in 2009, 2013, 2015, and 2019.

That is an incredible feat, regardless of how you look at it. There is no disputing that.

She said, “I feel exceptional in some ways.” “I have a constant desire to compete and display the results of the effort that I have been putting in.

“I am a person that puts in a lot of effort, is focused, and is constantly looking for new challenges.

“It is a really important accomplishment for me, since it is my fifth world championship in the 100-meter dash, and I have accomplished this feat at the age of 35.

“People often comment on my age or the fact that I am a mother, but I like to think of such things as natural milestones along the path of my life’s journey.

“And rather than seeing it as something that will influence me in a bad way, I look at it as an experience that will be beneficial to me.”

In her pursuit of a sprinting double, Fraser-Pryce, whose eyes were now firmly set on the women’s 200-meter race, blasted a warning shot in the direction of her competitors.

The Jamaican said, “I absolutely think that I can go faster, and once I have that confidence, I’m not going to quit until I accomplish it.” “I definitely believe that I can run faster.”

“I’ve always just trusted myself and my coach and believed in my talents, and if I’m healthy I’m always going to compete,” she said. “I’ve always just trusted myself and believed in my abilities.”

According to Fraser-Pryce, the predictions that Jamaica would win were validated by the results.

She exclaimed that “it was definitely something that was on the cards!” “I’m delighted that I was the one who finished first in the sweep, and I’m glad that the other females followed through so that we could enjoy coming in first, second, and third place.”

It was a historic achievement for a single country to win all three medals in the women’s 100-meter dash at the World Championships.

“This is the third time that I’ve participated in 1-2-3, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. I was able to emerge victorious from today’s competition.

“I feel privileged to have this gift and to continue to do it at 35, having a kid, and still continuing, and perhaps motivating others that they can create their own path,” she said. “I feel blessed to have this talent and to continue to do it at 35, having a baby, and still going.”

One of the first athletes to greet Fraser-Pryce was the American Allyson Felix, who had just finished her career with a 19th world medal, a bronze, in the 4×400 mixed relay in Eugene. Felix was one among the first athletes to offer her congratulations.

“At the age of 35! A female parent! 10.67! 5th championship in the globe! It’s your night, @realshellyannfp!!! Yes “tweeted Felix, one of the most prominent advocates for the rights of female athletes.

The response that Fraser-Pryce provided was that she was “I simply want to contribute to the inspiration that Allyson has provided for women by showing them that it is possible to achieve success beyond the age of 30, and that they are not constrained by anything.

“And I know that especially shoe companies like to think that when women reach a certain age, they want to discard them, but I’m grateful that I’m showing women that it can be done,” she said. “And I know that especially shoe companies like to think that when women reach a certain age, they want to discard them.”

Because Fraser-Pryce and her family are not big fans of the glitz and glamour associated with track and field’s most prestigious competition, the celebration that will take place in their honour will now be more low-key.

“Both my husband and my kid were in attendance, but, amusingly enough, they don’t really like being the centre of attention, so they always make sure to sit as high as possible in the stands so that no one can see them.”
