Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce posted as the fastest 100m in the world this year after clocking 10.67secs, a world leading win for her season opener in Nairobi on Saturday, May 7. Reports are that it was a comfortable win. The 35 year old Jamaican sprinter’s winning time was close to her personal best of 10.60.
As for the Bahamian Olympic Champion, Shaunae Miller-Uibo, it was a rare defeat as she finished third in the women’s 400m race at the 2022 Diamond League season. Marileidy Paulino from the Dominican Republic and Stephenie-Ann Mcpherson from Jamaica were first and second.
The twenty-eight year old is known for finishing strong but was this time unable to reach up to Paulino and was overtaken by McPherson.
