27, 1986) is a Jamaican [[track and field]] [[Sprint (running)|sprinter]] who competes in the [[60 metres]], [[100 metres]] and [[200 metres]]. Widely regarded as one of the greatest sprinters of all time, her achievements on the track throughout the 2010s decade helped to elevate Jamaican athletics on the international scene. In the 100&nbsp;m, her signature event, she is a [[100 metres at the Olympics|two-time Olympic gold medallist]] and a [[100 metres at the World Championships in Athletics|four-time world champion]], while in the 200&nbsp;m, she is an Olympic silver medallist and the 2013 world champion. A six-time Olympic medallist, Fraser-Pryce rose to prominence at the [[2008 Summer Olympics|2008 Beijing Olympics]], becoming the first Caribbean woman to win [[Athletics at the 2008 Summer Olympics – Women's 100 metres|100 m gold]] in this event. At the [[Athletics at the 2012 Summer Olympics|2012 London Olympics]], she became one of only three women in history to [[Athletics at the 2012 Summer Olympics – Women's 100 metres|defend an Olympic 100&nbsp;m title]]. After injury affected her season, she [[Athletics at the 2016 Summer Olympics – Women's 100 metres|won bronze]] at the [[Athletics at the 2016 Summer Olympics|2016 Rio Olympics]], becoming the first female sprinter to win 100&nbsp;m medals at three consecutive Olympics. At the [[World Athletics Championships|World Championships]], Fraser-Pryce is one of the [[World_Athletics_Championships#Multiple_medalists|most decorated]] athletes in history with 11 medals, including nine gold and two silver. She is the only sprinter, male or female, to win four world titles in the 100&nbsp;m—in 2009, 2013, 2015 and 2019. Her win in 2019 at the age of 32 made her the oldest female sprinter, and the first mother in 24 years, to claim a global 100&nbsp;m title. In 2013, she became the first woman to sweep the 100&nbsp;m, 200&nbsp;m and 4 × 100&nbsp;m at a single World Championship, and was voted the IAAF [[World Athlete of the Year]]. She added the 60&nbsp;m world title in 2014, making her the only woman to hold World Championship titles in all four events at the same time. A dominant force in women's sprinting, Fraser-Pryce has won more global 100&nbsp;m titles than any other female sprinter in history. Nicknamed the "Pocket Rocket" for her petite stature and explosive [[starting blocks|block starts]], her personal best of 10.70 seconds is the joint [[100 metres#All time top 25 women|fourth fastest of all time]]. She has recorded 15 runs below 10.80&nbsp;s, the most for a female sprinter, and has posted the second most sub-11&nbsp;s clockings with over 50. [[World Athletics]] hailed her as "the greatest female sprinter of her generation."<ref name="Fab5">{{cite web |url=https://www.worldathletics.org/news/series/five-world-championships-multiple-medallists|title= Fab five: multiple medallists at the World Championships|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200922181534/https://www.worldathletics.org/news/series/five-world-championships-multiple-medallists|archive-date=22 September 2020|date=24 August 2019|last=Landells |first=Steve |website= World Athletics|publisher= |access-date= 24 May 2020|quote=}}</ref> In 2019, she was listed among BBC's 100 inspiring and influential women in the world. ==Early life and career== Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce was born to parents Orane Fraser and Maxine Simpson in the violent, inner city community of Waterhouse, near [[Kingston, Jamaica|Kingston]].<ref name="Journey"/><ref>{{cite web |url=https://jis.gov.jm/information/get-the-facts/fraser-pryce-jamaicas-golden-girl/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200716144145/https://jis.gov.jm/information/get-the-facts/fraser-pryce-jamaicas-golden-girl/|archive-date=22 September 2020 |title=Fraser Pryce – Jamaica's Golden Girl|last= |first=|date=21 March 2017|website=Jamaica Information Service|publisher= |access-date=16 July 2020|quote=}}</ref> She was raised with her two brothers by her mother, a former athlete who worked as a [[Hawker (trade)|street vendor]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/olympics/6462382/Shelly-Ann-Frasers-rise-from-poverty-to-one-of-the-worlds-best-sprinters-is-remarkable.html |title=Shelly-Ann Fraser's rise from poverty to one of the world's best sprinters is remarkable|last= Chadband |first=Ian|date=29 October 2009|website= The Telegraph|location=London|publisher= |access-date=19 September 2016|quote=}}</ref><ref name="struggle">{{cite web |url=https://www.sportskeeda.com/athletics/rio-olympics-2016-shelly-ann-fraser-pryces-story-struggle-and-dominance|title=Rio Olympics 2016: Shelly Ann Fraser-Pryce's story of struggle and dominance|last= Singhania|first= Devansh |date=12 Jul 2016|website= Sportskeeda|publisher= |access-date=14 May 2020|quote=}}</ref> A gifted sprinter from a very young age, she started running barefoot in [[primary school]].<ref name="overshadow"/><ref name="Brit">{{cite encyclopedia |title=Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce |encyclopedia=Encyclopædia Britannica |date=25 June 2020|last=Lindstrom |first=Sieg|publisher= |location=| url= https://www.britannica.com/biography/Shelly-Ann-Fraser-Pryce|access-date=29 July 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200729214923/https://www.britannica.com/biography/Shelly-Ann-Fraser-Pryce |archive-date=29 July 2020 |url-status= |id= }}</ref> Throughout her time at the [[Wolmer's High School for Girls]], she was uncertain about pursuing a career in track and field.<ref name="Osaka"/> However, she was active on the youth athletics scene, competing in the famous [[Inter-Secondary Schools Boys and Girls Championships]] (known locally as "Champs"), and winning bronze in the 100&nbsp;m at age 16.<ref name="Journey">{{cite web |url=https://www.athleticsweekly.com/featured/shelly-ann-fraser-pryce-journey-to-the-top-38221/|archive-date=23 September 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200923140518/https://www.athleticsweekly.com/featured/shelly-ann-fraser-pryce-journey-to-the-top-38221/|title=Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce's journey to the top|last= Weir|first= Stewart|date=12 Jul 2016|website= Athletics Weekly|publisher= |access-date=22 May 2020|quote=}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cfpitiming.com/issa_2002_class_3_girls.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200221004942/http://www.cfpitiming.com/issa_2002_class_3_girls.htm|archive-date=22 September 2020|title=Boys & Girls Athletic Championships|last= |first= |date=16 April 2002|website= |publisher=C.F.P.I.
