Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is a 2-time Olympic and a 4-time World Championships winner at 100 meters event.
She is also the only woman to win a World Championships title after becoming a mother.
And, wait, the oldest at that.
Anything I write beyond this will pale in comparison, but let me try.
A decade after her maiden World Championships title, Shelly-Ann did it for the fourth time.
Unlike her previous appearances, though, the victory wasn’t really anticipated this time. She was coming after a break that she took while pregnant and was competing with the best around the world.
However, in her typical style, she did what had never been done before.
She clocked 10.71 seconds – which was exactly the same time she took to clinch her second title at the tournament.
What stood out, though, were the pictures of Shelly-Ann holding her kid after the victory. “This is a victory for motherhood,” she told AP.
And in another interview given to CNN, she said:
My secret is just staying humble and just know who you are as a person and athlete and just continue to work hard. It’s a wonderful feeling having my son witnessing this.
Her 2-year-old son Zyon even joined her on the field, making it one of the most historic images of our times.
