Dear Editor,
We tend to hear more about male athletes and their success than women — for some strange reason. Jamaicans everywhere were excited and just beaming over Shelly Ann Fraser-Pryce triple success at the IAAF World Championships in Moscow. She is now one of three women worldwide who have ever been able to cop the double of both 100m and 200m at this international meet.
She did herself and country proud ranking herself amongst the worlds top athletes — male and female. Although she received some media coverage, interviews etc, its definitely not as intense as the much-sought-after Bolt. Hopefully someday women athletes will be just as sought after, its definitely a journey.
We must say, well done Shelly-Ann, so proud of what you've achieved to date. Your charm, humility, determination are outstanding — not to mention the statement hair colour which stood out on the track!
You've become another Jamaican we're so very proud of!
