Jamaica‘s team for the 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, Japan, is set, and all eyes will be on the sprint queens after their shocking exits last year at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Both Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Shericka Jackson pulled out of their respective events in Paris last year, but each of them have been selected for the women’s 100m in Tokyo, with Jackson also racing in the 200m where she is the defending champion. Both women are also in the relay pool for the women’s 4x100m relay.
Fraser-Pryce, who is 38, opted to return for a final season in 2025 because she was unsatisfied with how her Paris 2024 Olympics had finished.
The five-time world champion and two-time Olympic champion over 100m will hang up her spikes for good after Tokyo. She and Jackson are the returning World Championships bronze and silver medallists, respectively, from Budapest 2023.
Fraser-Pryce and Jackson are joined by Tina Clayton in the 100m. Jamaica will also be represented by Gabrielle Matthews and Ashanti Moore alongside Jackson in the 200m.
