Distinction|CD OD]] [[Order of Jamaica|OJ]]}} {{post-nominals|OLY}} (''[[née]]'' '''Fraser'''; born December 27, 1986) is a Jamaican [[track and field]] [[Sprint (running)|sprinter]] competing in the [[60 metres|60&nbsp;metres]], [[100 metres|100&nbsp;m]] and [[200 metres|200&nbsp;m]]. She is widely regarded as one of the greatest sprinters of all time. One of the most enduring track athletes in history, Fraser-Pryce's career spans over a decade and a half, from the late 2000s to the 2020s. Her success on the track, including her consistency at major championships, helped to usher in the golden age of [[Athletics in Jamaica|Jamaican sprinting]]. 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|five-time world champion]]. In the 200&nbsp;m, she has won gold and silver at the World Athletics Championships, as well as an Olympic silver medal. An eight-time Olympic medallist, she rose from relative obscurity at the [[Athletics 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|gold in the 100&nbsp;m]]. At the [[Athletics at the 2012 Summer Olympics|2012 London Olympics]], she became the third woman 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]]. Thirteen years after her first Olympic win, she [[Athletics at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Women's 100 metres|won a silver medal]] at the [[Athletics at the 2020 Summer Olympics|2020 Tokyo Olympics]], becoming the [[100_metres_at_the_Olympics#Multiple_medallists_2|most decorated 100&nbsp;m sprinter]] at the Olympic Games. At the biennial [[World Athletics Championships]], Fraser-Pryce is one of the [[World Athletics Championships#Multiple medalists|most decorated]] athletes in history, winning ten gold, five silver medals and a bronze. She is the only sprinter to [[100 metres at the World Athletics Championships#Multiple medalists 2|win five world titles]] in the 100&nbsp;m—in 2009, 2013, 2015, 2019, and 2022.
