Jamaica’s Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce has won her first blue ribbon event since the National Trials on Thursday (August 26), with an impressive 10.60 seconds win in the women’s 100m at the Wanda Diamond League in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Fraser-Pryce, among three Jamaican sprinters, finished in a meet record and personal best time ahead of compatriots Elaine Thompson-Herah and Shericka Jackson, who claimed second and third in 10.64s and 10.92 respectively.
After shattering Marion Jones’ 1998 meet record, only the elusive 10.49s world record held by Florence Griffith Joyner, and last Saturday’s world-leading time of 10.54 by Thompson-Herah, remains yet to be touched by Fraser-Pryce.
Bursting into celebration over the Jamaican dominance, Twitter users are excited that Fraser-Pryce and Thompson-Herah are going head-to-head to see who can break the world record first.
