Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce has established herself as one of the most accomplished track and field sprinters. Before she retired, she became the first female athlete to hold world titles in all four sprint events simultaneously, and is recognized as the most decorated 100m sprinter of all time.
Since delivering the final race of her career in Tokyo a few weeks ago, she has been spending more time with her family and recently shared a peek into her son’s football match, which she attended.

Fraser-Pryce shared a short video on Instagram, showing her 8-year-old son, Zyon, dressed in a red and black sports attire as he interacted with his coach on the field. After a brief moment, he joined his other teammates and prepared to resume the match.
Filled with pride, the retired sprinter gushed over watching her son on the field. She wrote in the caption, “First match for my fave 😍🤩”
Notably, Fraser-Pryce got married to Jason Pryce in 2011, and they welcomed their son, Zyon, in August 2017.
The iconic athlete admirably struck a balance between motherhood and her career, going on to win the JN Racers Grand Prix in Kingston in 2018. That same year, she came second in the 100 m final at the Jamaican Championships and the Galà dei Castelli in Switzerland.
In 2022, she achieved her fifth 100m World Title, and in early 2025, she announced her plans to retire. The 38-year-old athlete competed in the World Championships in Tokyo, where she placed sixth in the 100m final of her individual event. She also won a silver medal alongside her teammates in the 4x100m relay.
What Did Fraser-Pryce Say After Closing The Final Race of Her Career with a Bang?
After Fraser-Pryce won silver in her final race, which was a relay, she was visibly pleased with herself and her teammates. The World Champion expressed excitement at the achievement, saying, “I have had an amazing career and today’s medal is the icing on the cake. My son will be excited. Today is a full circle moment for me, I was a reserve at my first world championships in Japan in 2007. I couldn’t have it any other way.”
She further noted that she was grateful for the “medals, the stadiums and the crowds” she has encountered throughout her career. Going forward, she intends to use her voice and impact to focus on advocacy for women.
