Fraser Pryce stumbles as Jamaicans falter in Diamond League

DEFENDING Olympic champion Shelly Ann Fraser-Pryce, stumbled after a few strides after leaving the blocks in the Samsung Diamond League in London and finished down the track in a disappointing last today.

Fraser-Pryce went into the finals with the fastest time but her race fell apart after the stumble and the ‘Pocket Rocket’ jogged through to the line in 11.82.

The race was won by Nigerian Blessing Okagbare in 11.01 from Carmelita Jeter and Tiana Madison of the USA.

Fraser-Pryce’s Jamaican teammates Aileen Bailey, Schillonie Calvert and Carrie Russell finished fifth, sixth and seventh respectively.
