Shelly-Ann still competing at 38

Shelly-ANN continues to compete at 38

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pyce is 38 years old and is still running quickly. Fourth in the 100 -meter Diamond League in Doha last week. Can you really spend 17 years since I saw her win the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008? I give myself in time, I know who he was and she didn’t know how good it was! I saw her in the five Olympic Games. I remember the world champions of Moscow in 2013 when he won 100, 200 and the relay.

I was in Lausana in 2021 when he ran 10.60. I saw his first career “from Jamaica, why should I want to run inside?” He won the world inside 60m in 2014! In 2017 he played a professional career to have his son, Zyon, before returning to the track to be a 100m world champion in 2019 and 2022. Who forgets to see her celebrate on the track in 2019 with Zyon in her arms? One more memory, he was also in the Brussels room for the press conference in which she asked Mondo how fast he could 100 meters and if he thought he could beat her. In the end, Karsten Warholm was a challenge.

Fraser-Pyce recorded 10.94 (+3.1m/s) at its 2025 season opening in Kingston (April 19) before competing for Jamaica in world athletics relays in China last weekend (May 10/11).

Speaking before the race in Doha, it was really optimistic:

“I’M Really excited to be Here Again. The 2019 (World Championships) was Really Special for Me and I Have Great Memories. I Like To Think of Defying The Odds In Doha. and have so Have and have so Have and have so Have and have so Have and have so have and so that and to have been so Have and have so have and so -have so have and so -have so I have, and so, let’s have that and that, so and have been like that and have given Tine to my son on the track, and after turning 30 years, it was really special.

“I am an old athlete, so I have to make sure that I am better.

“It is good to have that competitive impulse. I have run in moderation for the last two years, so really because to recover that racpness and see where I am.”

In addition, as a Christian, she has an additional motivation. A few years ago he told me: “Only to be able to be on the line and know ‘I am a son of God’ to make me special, to make me able to say: ‘ok, what I am doing today is for him’. And I hope that for me it would run, he gets glory and enjoy it as much as I am enjoying it. When I run, the first thing I tell myself is that ‘I hope that God is satisfied with my worship for running is my worship: my way of worshiping him because he has given me talent.

“There is nothing in this life that I fear. In everything I do, I am aware that there is someone bigger and more powerful of me and he is the person who guarantees anything in my life. Those are two things that I have firmly and expensive for my heart. ”

At 38 he is clearly a veteran, but discard at risk.
