TOKYO: Jamaican “Pocket Rocket” Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is juggling being the fastest woman alive with motherhood as she bids for a third 100m Olympics gold – 13 years after her first triumph.

The 34-year-old, who stands just 1.52m (five feet) tall, is set for a mouthwatering clash in Tokyo with compatriot Elaine Thompson-Herah and Britain’s 200m world champion Dina Asher-Smith.
