Shelly, you have shown us that regardless of age or past achievements, there is always more to be accomplished. You proved that success has no deadline—that it can be achieved at any stage of life. A well-oiled machine, you stood as a model of discipline, determination, and excellence. Few athletes can say they’ve had a career like yours. If you ask any competitor, they will say they wish for a run even half as successful as Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce’s.
