Speaking after her arrival, Fraser-Pryce expressed confidence in starting off positively on Saturday. She ran an impressive 10.67 seconds last year.

This comes at a time when home hero Ferdinand Omanyala has promised fireworks as he seeks to lower his African record. The Commonwealth champion has the fastest time in the continent of 9.77 seconds.

Omanyala is fresh from making his debut in the 150 metres race where he finished third in the Atlanta City Games behind Noah Lyles and Erriyon Knighton. He will be up against Bednarek in the penultimate race of the day.

But that's what happened.

Sports Brief reported that Fraser-Pryce has now come out to provide the details that made her compete in the parents' race. The Jamaican explains that it all started when one of the parents dared her two weeks before the event. The said parent sent her photos of her working the gym and, on the day of the race, she gave her those eyes you give a competitor before a race.
