At the BBC 100 Women award ceremony, Jamaican sprinter Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce was among the recipients recognised — a moment that pointed to her profile extending well beyond the track.

Fraser-Pryce was born in Kingston on 27 December 1986 and attended Wolmer's Schools. A citizen of Jamaica, she built her career as an athletics competitor and sprinter, competing across the 60 metres, 100 metres, and 200 metres. She has since retired from the sport.

The BBC 100 Women award remains a concrete marker of the recognition she received during her career as one of Jamaica's prominent athletics competitors.
