Kingston: Usain Bolt believes the only person who can stop his colleague Jamaica Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce from winning the 100 meter third Olympics title in Tokyo’s match is himself.
Only bolts, in the last three Olympics, had previously managed feat so Fraser-Pryce would be the first woman to pocket a 100m gold medal hat-trick if she won the final on July 31.
“I personally feel that Shelly is only a person who can lose this race,” Bolt told Reuters.
“I hope he doesn’t get too pressed on himself because he’s fit, he’s in shape, all he has to do is go there and execute and should not be a problem.” I look forward to seeing it and I would gladly share something like that, to win three Olympics with someone like Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, as my female senses, “Retired Sprinter added.
While Bolt won the golden trio on the game in a row, Fraser-Pryce won the title in Beijing in 2008 and London 2012 but managed only a bronze behind his compatriot Elaine Thompson-Herhi and American Tori Bowie in Rio.
Fraser-Pryce was dimineauatized to print the fastest 100m in 10.63 seconds in 10.63 seconds in 10.63 seconds in 10.63 seconds In Kingston on 5.
Bolt was not surprised to see it ran well at the age of 34 years.
“I can see that he adjusts his technique this season and that’s what helps him run so fast because now he is far more smooth.
and upright in the last end of the race, “he said.
Cham Pionous Thompson-Herh, who also won 200m to complete the Sprint Double in Rio, ran 10.71 in Hungary on July 6 and remains the biggest threat to the offer of Fraser-Pryce’s recording, according to NBC and former Sprinter analyst ato Boldon.
“I did not see anyone other than Thompson-Herhi or Fraser-Pryce won the 100m Olympics,” The Trinidadian, who won four Sprint medals in two Olympics, told Reuters.
“It was not a hard prognostication because of them Both have become the dominant sprinter of their generation and Fraser-Pryce has become the most dominant.
“Fraser-Pryce also entered the Tokyo match as the second fastest woman above 200 meters this season behind career – the best of 21.79 who won the Jamaican lane final on the month June.
However, American champions Gabby Thomas led the world, with the rotation of 21.61 in the fastest US second trial of all time behind Florence Griff ITH-Joyner’s World Record 21.34.
However, the bolt did not think the first gold Olympics on the half-lap and double sprint Tokyo event for Fraser-Pryce out of the question.
“I think 200 m will be much more difficult after coming from 100m,” he said.
“So for me, I trust him and I can see his work and talent, it shouldn’t be a problem as long as he focuses and keeps pushing forward.”
