Jamaica’s Shelly-Ann Fraser
Pryce became the fastest
woman alive to run the 100-
meter dash on Saturday and
is second to only one other
woman in history, Florence
Griffith “Flo-Jo” Joyner,
according to Black Entertainment
Television (BET).
Clocking an incredible
10.63 at a meet in Kingston,
the Jamaican capital,
on Saturday, BET said Fraser
Pryce blew her competitors
away and obliterated
the national record of 10.70
“that she shared with Elaine
Thompson-Herah, who won
gold in the 100m at the 2016
Olympics.”
“Fraser-Pryce’s 10.63 is
the fourth-fastest time ever
recorded,” BET said. “Flo-
Jo had run the three fastest
times ever in 1988 (10.49,
10.61 and 10.62).”
NBC Sports also said
that the two-time Olympic
100m champion clocked
the world’s fastest women’s
100m in nearly 33 years and
“re-established herself as
the favorite for a third gold
in Tokyo.”
Fraser-Pryce had won the
2019 World title “coming
back from childbirth,” NBC
Sports said.
“I’m at a loss for words
because 10.6 has been a
dream, a goal,” NBC quoted
Fraser-Pryce as saying,
adding that “she bettered
the national record of 10.70
that she shared with 2016
Olympic champion Elaine
Thompson-Herah.
“Now 34, Fraser-Pryce
bids this summer to become
the first woman to win one
individual Olympic track and
field event three times, plus
the oldest woman to win
an individual Olympic sprint
title,” NBC continued.
It said that going into Saturday,
the Olympic favorite
appeared to be 21-year-old
American Sha’Carri Richardson,
who clocked 10.72,
10.74 and 10.77 so far this
spring.
Thompson-Herah ranks
third in the world this year
with a 10.78, NBC said, adding
that Fraser-Pryce trailed
both of them coming into
Saturday with a 10.84 from
last week.
