   A matter of months after winning her fifth 100-meter world title, the 36-year-old Jamaican sprinter showed that she had lost none of her competitive edges when taking on other mums in a sprint at her son’s sports day.

Only five feet tall and known as the “pocket rocket” Fraser-Pryce left the rest of the field standing as she hurtled down the rough grass track.

Video footage shows her hapless rivals doing their best as the sprinter, wearing a blue t-shirt and reversed white baseball cap, disappeared into the distance.

The daughter of a street vendor, Fraser-Pryce began her athletics career at primary school running races barefoot.

Despite her obvious talent, Fraser-Pryce was not a particularly dedicated athlete in her youth, frequently being late for training.

Her career took off at the Osaka World Championships in 2007, when she won a silver medal as part of the Jamaican sprint relay team.

The following year she was the surprise winner of the 100 meters Olympic gold in Beijing, repeating the feat in London four years later.

During her career, Fraser-Pryce won three Olympic golds and 10 world championships.

Her best time in the 100 meters of 10.6 seconds has only been bettered by Florence Joyner-Griffith and Elaine Thompson-Herah.
