Fraser-Pryce Withdraws from 100m Semifinal

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce withdrew from the women's 100m semifinal at the Paris Games due to an undisclosed injury, moments before she was set to compete against Sha'Carri Richardson and Julien Alfred. The 37-year-old, who has stated this will be her final Olympics, previously won gold medals in 2008 and 2012, and advanced easily through the first round. Her withdrawal leaves all three Jamaican medalists from Tokyo's 100m event out of this year's competition. Fraser-Pryce had faced issues earlier in the day when she was blocked from entering the training track, although it is unclear if this incident contributed to her withdrawal. Richardson advanced to the finals but finished second to Alfred, who went on to win gold.
