The face of the Jamaican women’s sprint team, Fraser-Pryce had an impressive showing in this year’s Olympics winning gold in the 100 metres and silver in the 200 metres and 4 x 100 metres relay. After bursting onto the scene with gold in the 100 metres in Beijing then repeating in 2009 as world champion in the same event, she continued this stellar form in major championships in London, confirming her position as the fastest woman in the world.
