Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce produced a superb display to outclass local favorite Dina Asher-Smith and Ivory Coast’s Marie-Josee Ta Lou as she won the women’s 100 meters in 10.78 seconds at the London Diamond League on Sunday.
The 32-year-old double Olympic champion made a blistering start to dominate the race from start to finish, giving Asher-Smith (10.92) and Ta Lou (10.98) no chance of catching her.
Nigeria’s Blessing Okagbare finished fourth behind the trio in 10.79 seconds.
“It’s a long season and I’ve been training and training. To come out here and run 10.78 is a fabulous time,” Fraser-Pryce, whose season’s best time of 10.73 came at home in Jamaica last month, said.
“I feel good. The aim is to make sure when I get to the Doha (world championships) that I’m on point. Right now the females are so close in terms of time so you definitely just have to come out and make sure that you’re ready to run.
“My aim for Doha is definitely to be on the podium. For me, its a long season from here so I am hoping my experience will come into play.”
