Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce claimed gold in the women’s 100 metres in Doha on Sunday evening – her fourth world title over the distance, and her first as a mother.
The 32-year-old Jamaican, who gave birth to son Zyon two years ago, finished in 10.71 seconds, pipping Great Britain’s Dina Asher-Smith into second place.
“The females keep showing up,” Fraser-Pryce told the BBC after the race while holding Zyon. “Hoping that I can give inspiration to all the women who are thinking about starting a family or currently starting a family and wondering if they can come back.”
