Despite a slow start and recent setbacks, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce remains confident that her best performances are still ahead this season.

Jamaican sprint queen Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is not stopping at anything despite her slow start to the 2025 season.

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce started her season at the Velocity Fest #17, where she won the women’s 100m heats before proceeding to the World Athletics Relays in Guangzhou, China.

In China, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce competed in the second leg of Jamaica’s women’s 4x100m relay, where the women finished second in the heats and secured a bronze medal in the final.

Despite the fourth-place finish, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce has expressed confidence that this season will be one for the books, insisting that there is more to come.

The 10-time world champion revealed that her body is responding well to training and she has great things in store for her fans.

Her main focus will be to qualify for the World Championships in Tokyo, Japan, meaning she has to go one place better than the rich talent in Jamaica at the moment.

The likes of Shericka Jackson and the Clayton twins will be in the mix at the Jamaican Championships, also looking to secure a ticket to the global showpiece.

“I believe that this season will be one of my greatest seasons yet, and I’m grateful for all the opportunities that I get to race and the competition, and I’m looking forward to celebrating this year in fine style,” Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce said in a video shared by Television Jamaica.

“As an athlete, I know my body, I know how I feel and what I’m looking forward and I’m excited for where I’m at and looking forward to having a great season.”

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce remains one of the most iconic sprinters who has defied age to continue pushing at 38.

Fraser-Pryce will be looking to make up for all the losses she endured in the 2024 season, especially pulling out of the Paris Olympic Games. She clocked 10.92 seconds to settle for second in the heats but did not start in the semifinal, ending her campaign.
