Jamaica’s Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce ran a 10.71 seconds to win
the world 100 metres title at the 2019 World Championships in Doha on Sunday,
September 29th instantly earning herself title of the fastest woman in the
world.
Fraser-Pryce, who was
away in the 2017 edition of the tournament to have her son, stunned with a
10.80 to become the world’s fastest ever in the heats. She went on to race an
amazing 10.87 in the semi-finals before a 10.71 in the final to seal a fourth
world title (2009, 2013, 2015 and 2019).
U.K’s Dina Asher Smith came behind in 10.83 to seal a new
British record and her first world senior medal. Cote d’Ivoire’s Marie-Josee Ta Lou settled
for bronze in 10.90 after clinching silver in the previous edition in 2017,
London.
IAAF celebrated
Fraser-Pryce by likening her with a unicorn, a mythical animal typically
represented as a horse with a single straight horn projecting from its
forehead.
