Fraser-Pryce wins 100m world title at 35 as Asher-Smith misses medal

Jamaica’s queen of the track has her crown back again. And, even at the grand age of 35, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce somehow keeps finding fresh ways to shatter records and defy the laws of sporting gravity.

Gold here in Eugene was delivered in classic Fraser-Pryce style. She exploded out the blocks, picked up far faster than her rivals, and put the race to bed long before she glided across the line in 10.67sec – far ahead of her compatriots Shericka Jackson, who took silver in 10.73, and Tokyo the Olympic champion, Elaine Thompson-Herah, who claimed bronze in 10.81.
