Olympic gold medal sprinter destroys the field in parents race at son’s school

Two-time Olympic 100m champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce made short work of other parents at her son’s school when she participated in their sports day.

Hilarious drone footage shows just how much faster the five-time World Champion is than a normal human being as she streaked away from the field in Jamaica.

The third-fastest woman of all time was so quick she even confused the drone which lost track of her before she crossed the finish line.

Fraser-Pryce became the first Jamaican woman to win an Olympic women's 100m title at Beijing 2008 and defended her title at London 2012.

Earlier this month she posted a video to social media announcing she had “unfinished business” and was returning to the track this year.

She last raced at the Paris Games in 2024.
