She is mostly seen running in yellow and orange colored wigs and that is mostly her signature look since she started competing.

Newly-crowned World 100m bronze medallist Shelly-Anne Fraser-Pryce is known for her love of colorful wigs and perhaps, many people might be wondering why she loves the popping color.

She is mostly seen running in yellow and orange colored wigs and that is mostly her signature look since she started competing.

She finally came out to disclose her love for colorful wigs and jokingly said that she could not afford to compete without her sunshine, to mean her wigs.

“So, you know I can’t leave out my sunshine…my yellow is for Jamaica of course and the orange is like the fire at the end of the rocket.

I have to keep it vibrant and keep it loud because that’s just who I am,” she said during an interview with World Athletics.

The multiple Olympic champion added that her resilience has always been a savior for her and it motivates her to keep pushing despite the setbacks. She suffered an injury setback earlier this year and her chances of being at the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary came close to none.

However, having only competed twice, Fraser-Pryce stunned her fans to finish third in the women’s 100m. USA’s Sha’Carri Richardson and Jamaica’s Shericka Jackson finished first and second respectively.

“I think I’m resilient and persistent. I also don’t know how to give up,” she added.
