QUOTES Our influence in the world around us can be more significant than any of us imagine today – and it could last well beyond our final race, or goal, or jump. Together, we can be a force for good in the world around us. And that can start with the example we set, both on and off the field of play, We are all competitors, but when we compete we should show respect for our sport – for the rules, for our opponents and for the people who cheer us on. Sport is in our hearts, and we should show the world that it is fun and inclusive. Sport has a unique power to speak to young people, and its message should always be a positive one This is a power and a responsibility that is new to our generation. If we see a need for change in our sport or our society, we should speak out. And we must also enact that change ourselves – by using our profile and our platform to engage with the issues closest to our hearts. Today, we have the power to change the world in a way that the champions who came before us did not. If we recognize this opportunity and act together, then our achievements as sportswomen and men will only be the beginning of our legacies Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce: Athletes have power to change the world, Sportanddev.com, 16 August 2023 by Laurens One of my greatest blessings is seeing athletes who are inspired by me across generations. It has been a blessing to interact with those athletes, and I hope that there is something they can take from this journey I came into this championship with so many odds, but I made the final. And I think that is a huge accomplishment. I remember in 2007 when I started, I was unsure what I wanted to do, but I walked away with so much from the championship. This time around, I came with all those experiences from years of participating in the championships Tonight, I am really grateful that I was able to stand on the track one more time in the 100m finals It has been such a privilege, an honour, and my greatest blessing to stand here tonight The last dance for Fraser-Pryce,23 October 2025 External Links Shelly -Ann Fraser-Pryce at World Athletics Shelly -Ann Fraser-Pryce at Diamond League Shelly -Ann Fraser-Pryce at Olympics.com Shelly -Ann Fraser-Pryce at Olympedia Shelly -Ann Fraser-Pryce at the Commonwealth Games Federation(Archived) Shelly -Ann Fraser-Pryce at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games (Archived) Category:Track and field athletes Category:Women in sports Category:Olympic gold medalists Category:1986 births Category:Women born in the 1980s Category:Living people Category:Sportspeople from Jamaica
