Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is the greatest 100m sprinter of all time, and one of the greatest track and field athletes in history. She recently announced that 2025 would be her final season competing in the sport, and that last year’s Paris Olympics was her final Games. At those 2024 Olympics, Shelly competed in the first round of the 100m, but surprisingly did not show up to compete in the semi-finals and ultimately left Paris, ending her 16 year long Olympic career. This was a shock to the track & field world, and for almost a year she never provided a clear explanation as to why she chose not to compete. In July 2025, she sat down with Marie Claire and finally explained what occurred in Paris last year.
