MANCHESTER, England :Champion Jamaican sprinter Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce will hang up her spikes after next month's world championships in Tokyo having redefined what is possible for women in sport.

The three-times Olympic and 10-times world gold medallist announced she would compete for one more season in 2025, saying she had unfinished business after withdrawing from the 100 metres final at last year's Paris Olympics due to injury.

"I didn't get the opportunity to do what I know I could have done in that moment," 38-year-old Fraser-Pryce said on a video call with reporters.

"And it was hurtful. It was the first time in my entire career that I've never been able to step to a line to compete."
