Five-time World 100m champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce says she is eagerly looking forward to the start of the 2023 athletics season.
The 36 year old Jamaican dominated the 100m scene in 2022 with her incredible seven sub-10.7-second 100m times, including a 10.67 championship record clocking at the World Athletics Championships in Eugene in July.
In addition to winning a fifth World title, Fraser-Pryce also won her fifth Diamond League 100m title.
‘I think this year I’ve had more fun than I have ever had in track and field, and I owe that to the fact that I kind of stopped listening to the other voices and
started listening to my voice. I started to just be who I am,’ Fraser-Pryce told The Jamaican Gleaner.
The reigning world 100m champion has already started training for the 2023 season and says albeit it has been challenging, she is navigating it and
is excited to push herself further in 2023.
‘The workload is up so much, that you have to try and make sure that you get it done. Between being a mom and being an athlete, it has been a little bit difficult this
background season, but we are making it work,’ Fraser-Pryce told The Gleaner.
‘So as we go, we continue to put our best foot forward and trust that God will align everything how it’s supposed to be for the upcoming season.’
