Jamaican sprint icon Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, who suffered an injury scare at the recently concluded World Championships in Budapest, has sought to assure fans that she will make a strong return to the track and says she’s looking forward to competing at next year’s Olympics in Paris.

Fraser-Pryce picked up a right leg injury while running the second leg on the 4x100m team that won the silver medal behind the United States.

In a heartfelt message posted on social media Wednesday, the 36-year-old expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support she has received, particularly from her Jamaican fans, throughout what has been an injury-plagued season for her.

“As I contemplate lacing up my spikes again, I am moved by the warmth received by each and every one of you, and plan to continue honing my craft and representing my country,” Fraser-Pryce said.

“Jamaica, the sweet land that I love, you are my heart, my backbone, and the literal catalyst pushing me against all odds. Without a doubt, I am proud to be ‘one of us’- as you all poured your support and care into me over the season. It was what kept me going,” she added.

Regarding the injury she suffered at the World Championships in Budapest, she reserved a “special thank you” to the organisers whose swift response, she said, “spoke volumes for their care and professionalism on and off the track.”

The injury is not considered severe and she is expected to make a full recovery, according to the Jamaica team doctor at the World Championships.

In the meantime, Fraser-Pryce indicated that she plans to be well prepared for next year’s OIympics in Paris.

“We never quit; we never stop,” Fraser-Pryce said.

“In the face of injury, we wait, we plan, and we purpose in ourselves to work harder and acquire the readiness to be our best,” she continued. “Every chapter, no matter how it reads, always leads us to better preparation and execution when again we rise. So, get ready Paris, here we come.”
