Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce became pregnant with now seven-year-old son Zyon, soon after she sustained a toe injury that thwarted her performance at the 2016 Olympics.
The Jamaican track and field star, who is the world's third fastest woman of all time, tells Marie Claire about how that period impacted her. "I’m the kind of athlete that’s always going to come back harder the next time," she explains. "When I got pregnant on the heels of that injury, I didn’t get the opportunity to do that [on my timeline]. I was sad. But I was able to step back and look at the new picture. I took the year off, and in that time my toe healed, too."
