Jamaican sprinter Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is not just a gifted runner. Considered one of the best of the generation, she is often called the ‘queen of the track.’ While she may not get the credit for it, Shelly-Ann is much more talented than known to people.

The former Olympic champion started her season at the ‘Velocity Fest 11’ held in her hometown in Jamaica.

The second-fastest woman alive and winner of eight Olympic medals crossed the line in second place with a time of 22.79s. Racing at her home track, Fraser-Pryce had a strong start. She led the race for the first 170m, but slowed down for some reason.

Bahamas’ Anthonique Strachan took advantage of this as she passed the Jamaican to record a win. Having done this, Strachan also recorded her season’s best of 22.55s in the 200m category. Natasha Morrison of Jamaica finished third with a time of 23.06s.
