Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce produced a trademark performance to win a record fifth 100m title at the World Championships on Sunday.
The Jamaican exploded out of the blocks and had the race sewn up way before crossing the line in a championship record time of 10.67 seconds."It's my favourite world title -- doing it at 35, yes, I said 35," Fraser-Pryce told reporters after the win.
In 2017, Fraser-Pryce had an emergency C-section when she had her son Zyon, subsequently taking two years away from the track to rehabilitate and focus on motherhood. "It's not easy, I don't just turn up. I have to work," she added. "I can't even imagine the amount of times I've had setbacks and I've bounced back and I'm here again.
