Jamaican sprint queen Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce did not sustain a severe injury during the final of the women’s 4x100m at the Budapest World Championships on Saturday and is currently receiving treatment, the team’s medical personnel said on Sunday.

“As you know she sustained an injury to her leg and was taken to hospital where she was examined. The examination showed that the injury is not severe and she should progress quite fine,” Dr Warren Blake said.

Due to an injury to her knee, Fraser-Pryce opened her season relatively late, at the national trials last month, and only ran on the international circuit twice before the World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary.

Despite concerns surrounding her race fitness, the three-time Olympic champion won bronze in the women’s 100m in a season’s best of 10.77 seconds.

During her second leg run of the relay in the final, the injury was not apparent to anyone in the stadium as she was taken off the track by medical personnel. It was later when she or the team did not show up in the mixed zone to speak to the press that members of the Jamaican media in Budapest learnt of the mishap.

Despite her injury, Fraser-Pryce kept Jamaica in the contest, handing over to Shashalee Forbes who handed over to Shericka Jackson just behind the USA team, but Jackson was not able to gain ground on American sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson on the final leg.

Blake said Fraser-Pryce is receiving treatment and is in good spirits.

“She has started treatment and is currently resting. She walks and she’s in good spirits…,” he said.
