“Time will honor your greatness. 2025,” Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce captioned as she posted a video on her Instagram today. The video begins with a pulse—thunderous commentary, electric crowds, and Michael Bublé’s “Feeling Good” rising. Beijing 2008 flashes: 10.78 seconds of pure gold. Shelly-Ann warms up, eyes blazing. As she walks forward, the sun crowns her silhouette—warrior, queen, unfinished icon. The beat drops. She explodes down the track. Darkness. A whisper. White text: “Unfinished business.” Termed as Sha’carri Richardson’s greatest rival, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce has returned to the track and field season, and she sure is looking to make it memorable. When she enters Doha again this year, a lot is at stake that she sure would like to break.
The Olympian debuted at the Velocity Fest #17 meet in Kingston, where she clocked a time of 10.94 (+3.1) in the women’s 100 meters event. Next time we see her? The woman is all set to return to the Diamond League in Doha. Last time Shelly was in Doha at the Doha Diamond League was on May 28, 2021. In that race, she clinched victory in the women’s 100m, clocking a season’s best of 10.84 seconds. She outpaced Nigeria’s Blessing Okagbare, who finished second with a time of 10.90 seconds, and the USA’s Javianne Oliver, who secured third place in 11.03 seconds.
But that is not the only thing that she has done in Doha. Just two years after giving birth to her son Zyon, she returned to the pinnacle of her sport in Doha to claim one of the most iconic golds of her career. At the 2019 World Athletics Championships, she stormed to victory in the women’s 100m with a blistering time of 10.71 seconds. When she crossed the finish line, not only was she the 2019 World Athletics champion in 100m, but she also became the first person, man or woman, to win four world titles in the 100m.
What FloTrack also reports is that talking of Doha, she has said, “Doha holds a special place in my heart, and I’m truly excited to return for this year’s Diamond League.”
