Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce was named to compete in the Women’s 100m at the 2016 Rio Olympics set for August 5-21 — where she will aim to be the first woman to become a triple Olympic 100m champion. Fraser-Pryce, also seven-time World Champion, is also set to run in the Women’s 4x100m in Rio, but not the 200m. She was the 2012 Olympic silver medalist and the 2013 world champion in the 200m.
