Fraser-Pryce clocks 10.74 to win Diamond League 100m
LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — Two-time Olympic gold medallist Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce dominated the women’s 100 metres on Friday at the Athletissima Diamond League meet.
Her 10.74 second performance was just 0.01 outside the world-leading time Elaine Thompson and Fraser-Pryce herself clocked at the Jamaica National Championships last month.
The 32-year-old Fraser-Pryce, who missed the 2017 season to give birth to her first child, quickly ran clear to finish 0.17 ahead of Dina Asher-Smith, the European champion.
Asher-Smith and the 2017 worlds silver and bronze medallists — Marie-Josée Ta Lou and Dafne Schippers — all clocked season-best times trailing far behind Fraser-Pryce, the 2008 and 2012 Olympic champion.
