Coverage of the 17th IAAF World Athletics Championships #Doha2019 is brought to you by #Puma:
DOHA, Qatar – Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce has pulled out of the women’s 200m at the 17th IAAF World Athletics Championships Doha 2019 in Qatar.
Fraser-Pryce, who won her fourth world 100m title on Sunday night, said it was a coach’s decision for her to withdraw.
“I am not running the 200m; I’m not running,” she said with a smile.
Asked why, Fraser-Pryce replied: “My coach said I’m not running,” she said while laughing out loud.
Fraser-Pryce won her fourth world 100m title in a season-best 10.71, just short of her 10.70 personal best.

She would have won
She didnt pull out.Her coach told her to only run the 100 m and the relay
Juliet Wilson, if you look at the team selection her name is down for the 200m. Posts some time ago indicated that she intended to double too. Shashalee Forbes was named as reserve.
She was never down to run it from the beginning. There are 3 ladies entered di thst decision had nothing to do with her 100m.
Sage Mchottie, actually from the official team list – can’t be clearer than that. Sashalee Forbes is listed as the reserve in brackets. Also there was a post specifically about SAFP doing the double here. Not sure when your info came from because from DL final it was announced that Shaunae would do only the 400m in Doha.
Gman Hengdem Yes you’re right, thanks for the correction bro. and now I know Dina might win. Well ET should still medal if she’s willing to give it her all.
Sage Mchottie Miller isn’t doing the 200 she said that months ago
Shelly was never set to compete in the 200m where does tease ppl get their information from lol. Miller is the dominant one to win in a super fast time. Then Dina I predict to do amazingly well. Not sure if home girl ET is mentally ready. She’s a world class queen but somehow after that injury she has never regained her focus in the sport. Praying she can come home with a medal in that 200m.
Julia Haskins-Anderson The 200m is not her speciality. She won’t win gold over Asher Smith, Elaine or even Shaunae if she decides tu run.
Jenny Carruthers Shelly Ann should do the 200m too and take that gold.
Interesting that quite a few people were condemning Coleman for doing the same thing but happy to accept it from Shelly-Ann. I noticed also that Schippers DNS in the 100m final. ?
Noooooooo!!!
Gordon Shereen a hope Elaine bring home that 200m gold medal fi Jamaica because Dina Asher smith look stronger in the 200m
Gordon Shereen real talk ?
Kmt our only hope mi stress right out yah now
Sad
She was never going to run the 200M
She never did aggo contest it ..
Well you already delivered at the championship
She knows best. Save it for the relay. She might be in the relay semis then!!
Rest up shelly 4× 100 should be good
Congratulations on winning the 100m… You might be tired because you gave it your all
