KINGSTON, Jamaica – Five-time 100m World champion, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, will not contest the sprint double at the World Athletics Championships set to start in Budapest, Hungary next week.

Fraser-Pryce has opted to run only the 100m for which she is the defending champion.

Fraser-Pryce, who has battled injuries this season, was named only in the women’s 100m in the final entry list that was published by World Athletics on Wednesday.

She had hinted last year after she won the silver medal in Eugene, Oregon that she was rethinking doing the double. She only competed in the 200m at the Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association’s ( JAAA) national championships last month and was second behind Shericka Jackson.

Meanwhile, Rusheen McDonald has been included in the four men entered for the men’s 400m, despite being named as a part of the Mixed 4x400m Relays by the JAAA’s selection committee last month.

McDonald, the national record holder, is the fastest Jamaican man over the 400m so far this year after he ran 44.03 seconds, third best in the world so far.

He only ran the first round at the national trials and was left off the list published by the JAAA with national champion Sean Bailey, runner-up Antonio Watson, and Zandrion Barnes who was sixth in the final named.

Jevaughn Powell, who was third at the trials, as well as Malik James-King and Demish Gaye who were fourth and fifth respectively, had not achieved the qualifying time.
