Fraser-Pryce to be honoured at ATHLOS on Friday

Jamaican sprint legend Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce will be celebrated this Friday at the debut ATHLOS event, hosted at New York’s Icahn Stadium, in recognition of her extraordinary career on the track. The event, which will also feature a women-only professional track and field competition, will honor Fraser-Pryce as a guest of honor. This tribute comes just days after the iconic sprinter officially announced her retirement from competitive athletics, concluding a remarkable 18-year journey that has inspired millions globally. Known for her unparalleled speed and resilience, Fraser-Pryce has been a dominant figure in the sport since her breakthrough at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. With three Olympic gold medals and ten World Championship titles to her name, her retirement marks the end of an era for one of track and field’s most celebrated athletes. ATHLOS, in a social media post, highlighted her legacy, stating, ‘Icons don’t just run fast, they move generations.’
