32 year Old Mother, Shelly Ann Broke Record And Now She Is A World’s Fastest Woman
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce won 2-time Olympic and a 4-time World Championships at 100 meters event. She is the first woman to win World Championships title after becoming a mother.
33-year-old breaks Usain Bolt’s record and won gold medals in the world championships! She’s a mom of a preemie baby who lost her Nike sponsorship because she advocated for pay protection during pregnancy.
Anything I write beyond this will pale in comparison, but let me try.
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce’s eleven-year reign over the 100m:
Year Event Gold Medal Time
2008 Olympics 10.78
2009 Worlds 10.73
2012 Olympics 10.70
2013 Worlds 10.71
2015 Worlds 10.76
2019 Worlds 10.71
She was coming after a break that she took while pregnant and was competing with the best around the world. However, in her typical style, she did what had never been done before.

When she won the race the best part of her life was the pictures of Shelly-Ann holding her kid after the victory. “This is a victory for motherhood,” she told AP.
In an interview, she revealed that “My secret is just staying humble and just know who you are as a person and athlete and just continue to work hard. It’s a wonderful feeling having my son witnessing this.”
