Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce to compete in Paris 2024?
Ever since her debut in Beijing 2008, Fraser-Pryce has put herself firmly on the map.
Winning a gold medal in the 100-meter race of both Beijing and London cemented her legacy as one of the greats. Significantly, she set the third-fastest time in women’s 100-meter race history to solidify her position as one of the greatest. Now, Paris 2024 is on her mind as she mentioned in a cryptic post on Twitter.

The comment sent waves of curiosity amongst athletics fans as they hope to see her competing in France.
The first name that comes to our minds is Allyson Felix. After making her debut in the 2004 Athens Olympics, the sprinter performed well in Tokyo and won two medals. Can Fraser-Pryce target Paris, and equal her record?
Still in her prime
Even though Thompson-Herah and Shericka Jackson compete well, Fraser-Pryce has been doing it consistently for a long time. Thompson-Herah has won two consecutive medals but Fraser-Pryce beat her recently at the Diamond League meet in Lausanne. She set a time of 10.60 which became the third-fastest time in the 100-meter race.

The Jamaican trio has been raising the bar for athletes across the world. Thompson-Herah, Fraser-Pryce, and Shericka Jackson are expected to take the top three positions in their races. However, Fraser-Pryce’s longevity must be applauded.
Setting record-breaking times at 34 is an incredible feat. Fans shouldn’t be surprised if they see her roaming around the streets of Paris in 2024.
