Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce’s inspiring comeback after injury and her qualification for the World Championships could be the key to Jamaica’s World Championships aspirations.

This achievement is especially remarkable given her absence from the 2024 Paris Olympics due to injury, a setback that had raised questions about her competitive future.
