August 27, 2021 Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce Runs Third Fastest Time In Women’s 100m History

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce ran the third fastest time in women's 100m history to edge out Elaine Thompson-Herah in their latest encounter at the Diamond League meet in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Fraser-Pryce clocked a stunning 10.60 seconds to beat the Olympic champion.

Jamaican compatriot Thompson-Herah registered 10.64 secs - the fastest losing time in the event's history.

As Olympic silver medallist Fraser-Pryce won, Shericka Jackson - who took bronze in Tokyo - was third again.

Fraser-Pryce maintained her pace on the home stretch to hold off Thompson-Herah and set a new personal best.

"Believe it or not, I have still not run my best race - I know there is more to give," the 34-year-old said.

"I still need to work further on perfecting my technique. There will be more from me this season.

"My goal is to break into the 10.50-range."

Thompson-Herah ran 10.54 secs at last week's meet in Eugene, Oregon but says she has "no plans" to break Florence Griffith-Joyner's world record of of 10.49 secs.
