Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce has announced that the Jamaica National Championships, scheduled from June 26 to June 29, will be her final appearance at Kingston’s National Stadium as a professional athlete. The eight-time Olympic gold medalist will be competing at the event to secure a place in Jamaica’s World Athletics Championships squad, with the tournament taking place in Tokyo from September 13 to 21.

Fraser-Pryce had earlier announced in 2024 that she would be retiring from the sport after he 2024 Paris Olympics. At the Olympic Games in Paris, she reached the semi-finals of the women’s 100m but later withdrew from the semis due to an injury, thus returning without a medal at her last appearance.

During a recent cocktail reception hosted by Nike in her honor at the AC Hotel, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce made the huge revelation that the National Championships would be her final competition at the prestigious stadium.
