As of September, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce will no longer be an active professional athlete. The 38-year-old Jamaican track and field champion is set to race professionally for the last time at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo in the fall.
Speaking to Marie Claire as part of a cover story for our Women in Sports issue, the Olympian shares that she feels proud of where she's at right now, 18 years into her athletic career. "When I look in the mirror, I see a strong, fearless woman who’s about to do the impossible," she said. "I'm happy with who I am. I love where I'm at in this journey. I'm not saying it's easy, because it's not. You're gonna have challenges, but who doesn't? You just have to pick which battles you're gonna fight."
