SHELLY-ANN Fraser-Pryce’s dominance over 100 metres continued as the Jamaican retained her World Championship crown in Beijing yesterday.
Following compatriot Usain Bolt’s triumph in the men’s event on Sunday, the London 2012 champion lived up to expectations with a winning time of 10.76 seconds.
Fraser-Pryce flew out of the blocks and was so confident that she looked up at the big screen before raising her arm aloft as she crossed the line.
“I’m getting tired of 10.7s,” Fraser-Pryce said. “I just want to put a good race together and hopefully in the next race I get the time I’m working for.
“I definitely think a 10.6 is there. Hopefully I will get it together. I just trust in God, work hard and focus on executing.”
Dafne Schippers’s Dutch record of 10.81 secs netted her silver, becoming the first European in a decade to secure a podium finish at a global 100m championship.
