Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce

born 1986

Two-time Olympic and five-time world 100 metres champion

Landmark is level 2 of 4 in the Jamaica Hall of Fame: a first that opened a door, or the pre-eminent figure of their generation in this country. See how the levels work.

Why they are here

A sprinter from Waterhouse in Kingston who became one of the greatest 100 metres runners of all time.

Fraser-Pryce won the Olympic 100 metres in Beijing in 2008 and London in 2012, and world titles over a span of thirteen years, the last in 2022 after the birth of her son. Her success and her charity work made her a role model across the Caribbean.
