Paris is her last stage: Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce.

The three-time Olympic champion and ten-time world champion made this known in an interview published on Thursday. “My son needs me,” Fraser-Pryce tells the American magazine Essence. She wants to spend more time with her family.

«My husband sacrificed himself for me. We are a partnership, a team,” the track and field athlete continues: “Only thanks to this support can I do the things I have done all these years. I now owe it to them to do something different.”

Nice ending to the Olympic Games?

Fraser-Pryce would like to attack again at the Summer Games in Paris (July 26 to August 11). She wants to ‘cross boundaries’ and ‘show people that you stop when you decide to do so’.

Fraser-Pryce has won eight Olympic medals during her illustrious career, including gold in the 100 meters in Beijing and London and in the Jamaican 4×100 meter relay in Tokyo. (AFP)
