Welcome to the retirement club' - Usain Bolt pens heartfelt message to Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce on legendary career

Ahead of Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce's final race on the track at the Tokyo 2025 World Championships, Usain Bolt has penned a heartfelt message to the sprint queen, congratulating her on her legendary career.

The track icon made a special post of a picture of them together on his social media platforms with the caption:

"Big up yourself @realshellyannfp. Congrats on all your achievements over the years. Incredible Legacy you set. Real Legend. Welcome to the retirement club @realshellyannfp."

Fraser-Pryce is in Tokyo for her final career appearance on the track before hanging up her spikes.

She raced in the women's 100m and got to the final, where she finished an applaudable sixth position to cap off her glorious career in the event.

Fraser-Pryce's career spans 18 years, beginning with her major championship debut at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, where she became Jamaica's first and the Caribbean's first woman to win an Olympic 100m gold medal.

Since then, the 38-year-old has gone on to become a five-time world 100m champion and twelve world titles in total, a seven-time Olympic medallist, five-time Diamond League champion, her 100m personal best of 10.60s is the third fastest in history, and has been awarded several individual accolades.

Her success on the track, including her consistency at major championships, helped to usher in the golden age of Jamaican women's sprinting.

Fraser-Pryce will run her final race as part of the Jamaican 4x100m relay squad gunning for a final medal, before retiring as arguably the greatest female sprinter in world history.
