Fraser-Pryce also mentioned attending a rugby match but expressed her anticipation for the upcoming women’s 100m event this weekend. “So far it has been good… always expected to step on the track… ultimately, for me to be here at my 5th Olympic Games is such a blessing… When I look back and say five, it’s crazy to even think about, and the fact it’s five straight is even more crazy,” she remarked.
Fraser-Pryce’s storied career includes Olympic gold medals in the 100m from Beijing 2008 and London 2012, a bronze medal from Rio 2016, and a silver medal from Tokyo 2021. Additionally, she has a silver medal in the 200m from London and 4×100m relay silver medals from Tokyo, London, and Rio.
