PARIS, Aug. 3 (Xinhua) -- Jamaican legend Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce unexpectedly withdrew from the women's 100m at the Paris Olympics on Saturday.
The three-time Olympic champion advanced from her heat earlier in the day but did not appear for her semifinal at Stade de France.
Officials did not immediately give a reason for her absence.
The 37-year-old, competing at her final Olympics, could still participate at the Games in the 4x100m relay.
Fraser-Pryce is the third-fastest woman in history and was aiming to win a medal at her fifth consecutive Olympics.
She won back-to-back 100m Olympic titles in 2008 and 2012, and was a part of Jamaica's triumphant 4x100m relay team in Tokyo three years ago.
