    Three-time Olympic champion sprinter Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce plans to retire after this year's Games in Paris

    Three-time Olympic champion sprinter Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce plans to retire after this year's Games in Paris


    The 37-year-old won the 100 metres title in 2008 and 2012, also collecting gold as part of the Jamaican relay team at Tokyo 2020.

    Fraser-Pryce says the decision is family-driven.
