Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce

2 x OLYMPIC CHAMPION 5 x WORLD CHAMPION 2 x DIAMOND LEAGUE WINNER Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, OD is a Jamaican track and field sprinter.  Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Fraser-Pryce ascended to prominence in the 2008 Olympic Games, when, at 21 years old, the then unknown athlete became the "first Caribbean woman to win 100 m... gold at the Olympics". In 2012, she successfully defended her 100m title, becoming the third woman to win two consecutive 100m events at the Olympics. Fraser-Pryce won the 100m gold medal in the 2009 IAAF World Championships, becoming the second female sprinter to hold both World and Olympic 100 m titles simultaneously (after Gail Devers). In 2013 she also became the first female sprinter to win gold medals in the 100 m, 200 m and 4x100 m in a single world championship. Nicknamed the "pocket rocket" for her petite frame (she stands 5 feet tall) and explosive starts, she is ranked fourth on the list of the fastest 100 m female sprinters of all time, with a personal best of 10.70 seconds, set in Kingston, Jamaica in 2012
