Fraser-Pryce mum on future after Paris withdrawal

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Jamaican sprint legend Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is remaining tight lipped about her future following the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The 37-year-old, in her final appearance at the summer games, was unable to contend for a medal after withdrawing from the semifinals of the women’s 100m and not competing in the women’s 4x100m event.

However, during the Olympics, Fraser-Pryce clarified that it wasn’t necessarily her final year in track and field, but that it was her final Olympic Games.

At the Pocket Rocket Foundation Scholarship Awards Presentation at the AC Hotel in Kingston on Wednesday, the multiple Olympic and World Championship gold medalist said she couldn’t provide any clarity on her future.

“I cannot answer that question currently,” she said.

Fraser-Pryce, though, says she’s been grateful for the support she’s received from the public during a tough 2024 season.

The Pocket Rocket Foundation awarded a record 20 scholarships to 20 high school student athletes, ranging from athletics, football, volleyball, netball, basketball, table tennis and hockey.

The foundation, chaired by Fraser-Pryce, has now awarded close to 100 scholarships in its 11-year history.
