The Jamaican, who has now won five world championship gold medals in the event, added: 'After 30 you're not limited by anything. I'm grateful that I am showing women that it can be done.' The 35-year-old sprinter namechecked Allyson Felix, who recently ended her career, and Fraser-Pryce added her voice against footwear companies who have been reluctant to support mothers in athletics and women competing later on in their careers.
