These moms never stood a chance.
Jamaican track and field legend Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce recently blew through a competition of moms in a friendly sports-day race at her 5-year-old son Zyon’s school.
Widely regarded as one of the best sprinters of all time, Fraser-Pryce left her fellow caretakers in the dust to thunderous applause from bystanders.
The gold medalist showcased rather unbelievable speed as she ran through the competition, finishing the short 100-meter dash before many of the other contestants even made it to the halfway mark.
The 36-year-old is widely regarded as one of the fastest women to ever step foot on the planet, nicknamed “Pocket Rocket” for her relatively short stature of 5 feet but still showcasing breathtaking speed.
Fraser-Pryce is the third-fastest woman of all-time with a 100-meter time of 10.6 seconds.
She captured gold in the 100-meter race at both the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, and was part of the Jamaican team that won the women’s 4×100-meter race at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.
Fraser-Pryce, who also has four silver medals and a bronze at the Olympics, has 10 gold medals at the world championships, her most recent one coming last summer.

That was Fraser-Pryce’s fifth 100-meter world title, as she and fellow Jamaican sprinters Elaine Thompson and Shericka Thompson swept the competition.
Fraser-Pryce showed over the weekend that there are levels to this game, and no one is truly at her level.
