Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, OD (née Fraser on 27 December 1986) is a Jamaican track and field sprinter. Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Fraser-Pryce ascended to prominence in 2008 when at 21 years old, the relatively unknown athlete became the first Caribbean woman to win 100 m gold at the Olympics. In 2012, she successfully defended her 100 m title, becoming the third woman to win two consecutive 100 m gold medals at the Olympics. After winning bronze at the 2016 Summer Olympics, she became the first woman in history to win 100 m medals at three consecutive Olympic Games. After becoming a mom in 2017, she came back to world championship in Doha in an age of 32 years, and won her fourth gold medal in the discipline. In 2009, Fraser-Pryce won 100 m gold at the IAAF World Championships, becoming the second female sprinter to reign as World and Olympic 100 m champion simultaneously. She later became the first female sprinter to hold dual titles on two separate occasions when she won 100 m gold at the 2012 Olympics and 2013 World Championships. The only female sprinter to be crowned world champion over 100 m three times (2009, 2013 and 2015), she is also the first female sprinter to win gold medals in the 100 m, 200 m and 4 × 100 m in a single World Championship. In 2013, she also became the first woman to own IAAF World titles at 60 m, 100 m, 200 m and 4 × 100 m relay simultaneously.Fraser-Pryce has won more global 100 m titles than any other female sprinter in history. Nicknamed the "Pocket Rocket" for her petite frame (she stands 5 feet tall) and explosive starts, she is ranked fourth on the list of the fastest 100 m female sprinters of all time, with a personal best of 10.70 seconds. Her achievements and consistency led Olympian and sports commentator Michael Johnson to refer to her as "the greatest female sprinter of all time." Following her win in the 100 m at the 2015 World Championships, the IAAF also referred to her as "possibly the greatest female sprinter in history."
