Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is now the second fastest woman in history after she sped to a personal best and world-leading 10.63s over 100m at the third Olympic Destiny meet at the National Stadium in Kingston this morning.

The time eclipsed the previous national record of 10.70 that she shared with compatriot, Elaine Thompson-Herah and puts her only behind American Florence-Griffith-Joyner in the history of women’s sprinting.

It also pushed the United States’ Sha’Carri Richardson’s 10.72, set in Florida in April, down to the second-fastest time in the world this year.

Fraser-Pryce, 34, who is trying to become the first woman to win three Olympic 100-metre titles, accelerated from the field leaving Natasha Morrison (10.95) and Kashieka Cameron 11.39 in her wake and aided by a legal trailing wind of 1.3m/s.

“Man, look at God, that’s all I can say,” Fraser-Pryce said afterwards.

“Delay is not denial and that’s a big, big testimony for me. This morning, first I thought I was running first and then I heard that that 200 was first so I was just staying calm, just making sure I had this good before the national championships because I don’t have any more races before that so I was just looking forward to putting in a solid race, technique and everything before I get to the national championships.”

She said the time was totally unexpected.

“So, in terms of the 10.6, I really wasn’t looking for it to be honest and I think that was probably a good thing because I was just focused on executing and my coach has always said, once I execute I will do well.”

She said over the past year she and her coach Renaldo Walcott have been working on her endurance, especially the last 30-metres, staying composed no matter who she lines up against.

Fraser-Pryce now moves ahead of Americans Carmelita Jeter and Marion Jones, who have run 10.64 and 10.65, respectively.
