Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is a blur. She's also an anomaly.
The Jamaican superstar is one of the greatest sprinters in track history. Her closet is canary — she's got three Olympic gold medals, as well as 10 World Championships titles in her collection.
And yet, at the tender age of 36, she seems as strong as she's ever been. At a time when she could be gearing up for the end of her athletic career, Fraser-Pryce is as good as it gets.
She climbed to the No. 1 spot in the world rankings last year. And with this year's World Championships on the horizon, Fraser-Pryce feels a pretty smart bet to impress once more on one of global sport's biggest stages.
Fraser-Pryce and her Jamaican teammates figure to be heavily involved in all the hoopla in Budapest. But they're not the only country expected to strut their stuff. Kenya and Ethiopia have placed a vice grip on the medal podium recent years, namely in long distance events. China and the Dominican Republic have struck gold as well. And that's not to mention the Americans, who have historically dominated the proceedings.
