Shelly-Ann won gold at the Diamond League in Lausanne and her timing of 10.60seconds was a matter of pride and glory to her. Oozing with elation, she said, “I had a very good feeling and I’m happy to have been able to do that time“. She also added that, “I continue to work well, race after race. I believed in myself and tonight I am leaving with a personal best”.?
