Twice Olympic champion
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce streaked to victory in the Diamond League women's 100
metres final on Thursday with a time of 10.93 seconds against a head wind on a
cold, blustery evening. The 28-year-old Jamaican, who dyed her hair green for her
successful world title defence in Beijing last month before reverting to black
during a two-hour visit to a Zurich hairdresser on Wednesday, picked up US$40,000
for winning the Diamond League Trophy in her event.
Reuters report continues:
Sixteen
finals were staged on Thursday at a meeting which featured 20 individual gold
medallists from Beijing. The remaining 16 events will be decided in Brussels on
Sept. 11.
"There
is no more to ask, I won the world championships and the Diamond race,"
said Fraser-Pryce. "I was eager to come back on the track after Beijing
and I just enjoy this meeting."
Fraser-Pryce
completed the night by anchoring the Jamaican team to a meeting record of 41.60
seconds in the women's 4x100 metres relay.
