Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce has urged rising stars like Kishane Thompson to use the proven blueprint to uphold the nation's global dominance.
Jamaican sprinters have dominated the world of track and field for decades, and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce believes they will continue dominating since they are in safe hands.
Before his retirement, the fastest man alive, Usain Bolt, dominated the 100m and 200m, but after he hung up his spikes, Jamaica has struggled to get a heir to his throne, but Fraser-Pryce is confident that all will be well.
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Veronica Campbell-Brown and Elaine Thompson-Herah also gave their opponents a run for their money during their heydays, but Americans are slowly coming up with the likes of Gabby Thomas, Sha’Carri Richardson and Melissa Jefferson threatening Jamaican dominance.
