What do World Cup Champion and eight-time Ballon D’or Winner Lionel Messi, four-time NBA Champion and four-time Olympic Medalist LeBron James, and Ncaaw Champion Angel Reese have in common? Not just their impressive laundry list of accomplishments and athletic feats, but their ability to lock in and stay focused on the game ahead — with a little help from Beats headphones, of course.

S.W.A.T., CBS‘ armored vehicle of a cop drama, which has twice staved off cancellation, batters its way into an eighth run with a new member of the unit, Devin Gamble, who was recruited from the Oakland Pd by team leader Hondo (Shemar Moore). “She literally jumps right in, sprinting Sha’Carri Richardson-style, and dives off of a pier into the sand, catching a bad guy,” Ilonzeh says of the premiere’s opener. Gamble’s gold medal policing has to do with a deep need to overcome her crime family roots. We spoke with the actress about joining the team. (This interview has been edited for length and clarity.)

The 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris have been the talk of the town, the town being the entire world. From the return of old fan favorites like Simone Biles and Sha’Carri Richardson to new instant celebrities like Stephen Nedoroscik and Henrik Christiansen (Aka “Pommel Horse Guy” and “The Norwegian Muffin Man”); from time-honored events in track and field to new competitions in breakdancing and skateboarding; from volleyball in front of the Eiffel Tower to dressage at the Palace of Versailles; social and traditional media were abuzz from the second the opening ceremony started to the moment the closing ceremony ended (and that’s not to mention everyone’s favorite game: What is Snoop Dogg Doing in Paris Today?). There is so much to be excited about and so many events to watch, but there’s one thing that really sets this year’s events apart: the advertising at the Olympics. Things...

Paramount+ Releases “Frasier” Season 2 Trailer

He’s listening: Paramount+ has debuted the official trailer for the upcoming second season of its original comedy series “Frasier,” its revival of the original record-setting series.

Filmed in front of a live studio audience at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles, “Frasier” sees Kelsey Grammer return as Dr. Frasier Crane in the next chapter of his life as he returns to Boston “to face new challenges, forge new relationships and—with hope—finally fulfill an old dream or two.” In Season 2, Crane will return to his radio roots as he visits Seattle. Original series stars Peri Gilpin, Dan Butler, Edward Hibbert, and Harriet Sansom Harris will all appear as guests in the new season with other previously announced guest stars Rachel Bloom, Yvette Nicole Brown, Greer Grammer, Patricia Heaton, and Amy Sedaris.

Not all of the breakout stars of the Paris Olympics took home the gold. For every photo of champs Simone Biles and Sha’Carri Richardson, the world’s collective attention was also caught by a bizarre breakdancing routine and, yes, that pole vault guy.

Here, in no particular order, is TheWrap’s list of the biggest viral stars of the games.

Whether he was wearing riding gear with Bff Martha Stewart or proudly promoting various athletes like gold medalist Noah Lyles via custom Olympic gear, the Doggfather, who was also an NBC commentator in Paris, was clearly having the time of his life. One picture in particular, of a startled-looking Snoop in the stands, quickly became the “surprised” meme du jour.

Gabby Thomas has swiftly risen to prominence in the world of track and field, establishing herself as one of the premier sprinters of her generation. Now that the 2024 Summer Olympics have concluded, the 27-year-old deserves a much-needed break from the pressure that comes from elite-level competitions. This morning, cameras spotted Thomas outside of CBS studios in New York City.

Gayle King, Tony Dokoupil, and Nate Burleson interviewed Thomas on CBS Mornings. The trio acknowledged that the track star’s partner, Spencer McManes, was standing offscreen. Thomas and the former Yale University quarterback have been dating since October 2022. Dokoupil asked how the pair will celebrate her return to the U.S. Thomas replied, “We can’t wait to just go back home and get into our normal routine. I want to go walk my dog.

Netflix documentary series director Jamila Farwell has exited the streamer after six years, TheWrap can reveal exclusively.

After heading up the docuseries division since 2021, Farwell departed the company, according to an individual with knowledge of her departure. It’s unclear if the exit stemmed from restructuring efforts. Netflix declined to comment on Farwell’s exit.

Prior to being named as director of documentary series, Farwell served as a manager of creative documentary series since joining Netflix in 2018. She also served a producer for “RuPaul’s Drag Race” and holds producing credits for “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars,” “Preachers of Detroit,” “Flint Town,” and “Ladies of London.”

Netflix’s documentary division has recently launched several series, including “Simone Biles Rising,” which became last week’s No. 3 most watched English series with 3.8 million views, “Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies & Scandal,” “America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders,” “The Man with 1000 Kids” and “Worst Roommate Ever,...

The dash for gold is starting to heat up. The top athletes in the world have already made the 2024 Paris Olympics one to remember, from unforgettable moments from gymnastics to swimming. The track and field competition is now underway in the City of Light, as Noah Lyles and Sha’Carri Richardson secured medals earlier this week. But there are still more highly anticipated events scheduled through the rest of...

Sunday saw the second biggest U.S. audience of the Paris Olympics so far with more than 35M viewers tuning in across NBC, Peacock and other platforms.

That’s more than double the comparable Sunday audience for the Tokyo Games (17.4M cross-platform viewers), headlined by medal-worthy performances from Noah Lyles, Suni Lee, and Bobby Finke.

Sunday’s coverage was streamed by 4.5M viewers on Peacock and NBCU digital platforms alone, according to the company.

This year’s Olympics couldn’t be going any better for NBCU, as the Summer Games have been raking in huge audiences daily. Beginning with the opening ceremony, the 10-day total audience delivery is around 33M viewers across the combined live Paris Prime (2-5 p.m. Et) and U.S. primetime (8-11 p.m. Et/Pt) time periods. That’s an 80% uptick from Tokyo.

Sha’Carri Richardson came to the Paris Olympics and had high hopes for the gold medal. However, she lost out to Julien Alfred of Saint Lucia and went home with the silver medal. She was good enough to win, but she fell short when it came to the championship for one big reason.

Here is what happened to Sha’Carri Richardson when she lost to Julien Alfred of Saint Lucia.

Sha’Carri Richardson Loses After Slow Start At Paris Olympics

Sha’Carri Richardson prepared for her big shot at the 100-meter finals at the Paris Olympics. There was one problem that came with this. Richardson got off to a slow start in the run, and it cost her the gold medal. The real reason that she lost was because she took .221 seconds to get out of the blocks.

Taylor Swift has nothing but praise for three Americans competing in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. Simone Biles, Katie Ledecky and Sha’Carri Richardson are each highlighted in a new video set to Swift’s song “Style” that was released Sunday by NBC.

The beginning of the video features a quote by French designer Coco Chanel: “Every day is a fashion show and the world your runway.” Swift then begins, “Never be afraid to show them who you are” as footage of each athlete plays.

You can watch the clip below:

Taylor Swift has released a new promo video for the Olympics, saluting gymnast Simone Biles, swimmer Katie Ledecky, and sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson.

Swift’s single, Style, from the re-released version of her album 1989, plays alongside her narration in the minute-long clip.

“Never be afraid to show them who you are,” Swift says. “Especially when the whole world is watching. Because there’s no one way to be the best. No one way to inspire everyone else who will someday follow. You do what you love. You love what you do. You believe in your style, whatever it is.”

Footage of Biles, Ledecky, and Richardson competing in Paris rolls through the video.

“Katie, Sha’Carri, and Simone,” Swift finishes. “Three American stars, three different visions of greatness, tonight in Paris.”

Taylor Swift lent her voice to a new promo video released on Saturday, celebrating a handful of Team U.S.A.’s brightest athletes who have all medaled at the Paris 2024 Olympics. Backed by her 1989 single “Style,” Swift salutes gymnast Simone Biles, swimmer Katie Ledecky, and sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson.

“Never be afraid to show them who you are,” the singer says in the video as footage of Biles, Ledecky, and Richardson competing in Paris plays. “Especially when the whole world is watching. Because there’s no one way to be the best.

Although Adele has set up shop in Munich for the next month, she has Paris on the brain.

The Grammy Award winner paused the second night of her ‘Adele in Munich’ residency on Saturday, playing the Olympic women’s 100 meters final on the giant screens at Messe München’s 80,000-seat outdoor arena venue.

“Adele stops her show to watch Sha’Carri Richardson in the 100m Women’s Final at the Olympics!” wrote one fan on X with a clip of the hushed crowd watching the race.

Team USA’s Richardson ultimately took home silver with a time of 10.87, and her teammate Melissa Jefferson claimed bronze with 10.92. It was Saint Lucia’s Julien Alfred who won her country’s first gold medal with a time of 10.72.

Adele kicked off her Munich residency on Friday, performing two shows a week until Aug. 31. The venue also features Adele World, an outside experience for ticket holders with a ferris wheel,...

Even Beyoncé is impressed with Simone Biles after her record-breaking performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics this week. In a new tribute video posted to NBC, the singer celebrates Biles’ physical and mental prowess.

The clip opens with Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter song “Just for Fun,” which features Willie Jones, as she narrates footage of Biles during the Olympic games and in practice. “Let’s talk about power because, really, that’s what this story is about,” Beyoncé says. “Physical power, its beauty, its wonder, the way it never stops amazing you.

Taylor Swift is doing her part in motivating Team USA for the Olympics. The Love Story singer has been wildly busy performing on her Eras Tour, but many people expected to see her during the opening ceremony for the 2024 Summer Olympics. Unfortunately, she didn’t make an appearance, but she did collab with NBC for the event in another way.

Taylor Swift Collabed With NBC For Olympic Promos

The 34-year-old superstar is playing sold-out show after sold-out show around the world. Right now, she’s in Munich. However, many fans were hoping to see Taylor Swift cheering athletes on at the Olympics.

Due to her hectic schedule right now, she wasn’t able to make it, but she did participate in a “hype video” with NBC. “So ready to scream at my tv cheering for these athletes,” the pop star wrote on her Instagram Story.

We may be four years away from Los Angeles hosting the 2028 Olympics, but if Hollywood is famous for anything, it’s a glitzy, starry early tease. Filming from a Universal Studios soundstage in Studio City, California, legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg delivers a welcome to the 2024 Paris Olympics that ties the perfect link between cinema and these historic games. The short, entitled ‘Land of Stories,’ begins with Spielberg walking onto a set with a big blue-screen behind him that eventually transports him to a street corner above the Seine with the Eiffel Tower in the background, all courtesy of his friend George Lucas’s Industrial Light & Magic.

As Spielberg narrates, with clips of his films and past Olympic games interspersed, he explains the personal importance “telling stories” has for him. In the short, he said, “From the very origins of the idea, The Olympics have always been what you might call,...

The opening ceremony of the Paris Games is barely over, and already its starting to look a lot like the #Beylympics, at least to Team USA.

Having given Vice President Kamala Harris permission to use her ‘Freedom’ tune for her newly launched Potus campaign, Beyoncé is now flying the flag for Simon Biles, LeBrone James, Sha’Carri Richardson, Noah Lyles, Caeleb Dressel, Katie Ledecky and all other American athletes competing in France over the next 16 days.

In a video that dropped during NBC and Peacock’s primetime replay of Friday’s Opening Ceremony, the hatted and booted Cowboy Carter superstar gave her ‘YA YA’ hit a revamp for the hometown team. “Get a look at America, y’all,” Beyoncé declared as Biles, Men’s Gymnasts Fredrick Richard and Asher Hong, and others appeared on screen. “These hopes and dreams, these superstars that represent us.”

Team USA knows they have Beyoncé’s support throughout the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

During the Olympics Opening Ceremony in Paris on Friday, the global superstar introduced the athletes that make up the United States team in a promotional video. Team USA then made their way down the River Seine.

Beyoncé was seen in the footage sporting a red, white and blue bodysuit, accompanied by a cowboy hat and cowboy boots. The singer also named several of the athletes competing for Team USA, including Simone Biles, Sha’Carri Richardson, Noah Lyles, Caeleb Dressel and Katie Ledecky, as “YA YA” from her latest album Cowboy Carter played in the background.

She then continued with a motivational message: “Get a look at America, y’all. These hopes and dreams, these superstars that represent us. The people of this big, bold, beautiful, complicated nation. All rooting together for them.”

“Come on, you’ve gotta love Noah and Sha’Carri.

Draped in red, white, and blue, Beyoncé gave a glorious welcome to the athletes competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics. “Get a look at America, y’all,” said the icon in the promotional video, which featured “Ya Ya” from Cowboy Carter. “These hopes and dreams, these superstars that represent us.”

The video, which aired following the opening ceremony, introduced the bold competitors representing Team U.S.A this year including Caeleb Dressel, Sha’Carri Richardson, Noah Lyles, Katie Ledecky, and of course, four-time Olympic gold medal winner, gymnast Simone Biles.

The 2024 Paris Summer Olympics have finally arrived, with the promise of a newly cleaned Seine river and high-tech cardboard beds for all the athletes. There’s a lot to look forward to during the games themselves, which run from July 26 through Aug. 11 in both Paris and other French cities. But with 329 events taking place across 32 sports, including the newly added break dancing competition, it can be hard to know when to tune in.

A lot of big names are returning to the Olympics this year, from Simone Biles to Katie Ledecky to Noah Lyles,...

Viewers of the Paris Olympics will expect to see plenty of Simone Biles, Katie Ledecky, Sha’Carri Richardson and LeBron James when they tune into NBC later this week to watch the athletic extravaganza. They may also get glimmers of another familiar visage: Hoda Kotb.

NBC plans to feature a “Hoda-cam” as part of its efforts to cover the 2024 Games. Viewers may see shots of Kotb watching the U.S. women’s gymnastics team — long one of her favorites — and interacting with the families of Olympic hopefuls.

The “Today” co-anchor learned about the new feature last week, at the same time as her colleagues Savannah Guthrie, Craig Melvin and Al Roker — as well as a reporter from Variety who was meeting with the quartet and “Today” producers to learn about the morning-news mainstay’s plans for covering the 2024 Olympics after the group had completed a photo shoot for a “digital cover...

Espresso is now the (un)official drink of the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Pop singer Sabrina Carpenter has been heating up the charts with her smash-hit “Espresso,” and now she’s taking on broadcast airwaves in a new NBC commercial promoting this summer’s Olympic games.

Starting this week, close to 3 million people will descend on Paris for the 2024 Olympic games. But when some elite athletes step off the field — or lane, or pool, or field — and into the village, they won’t just be experiencing a monumental life experience. They’ll be clocking into their day jobs: content creation.

While most people think of the medals, attention, and national pride Olympic athletes receive during competition, underneath the praise is a grueling infrastructure that requires competitors to put up hours of practice and tens of thousands...

As her star has risen as the world’s fastest woman, Sha’Carri Richardson has always honored her roots. As Vogue’s cover star ahead of the Paris Olympics, she included some of her family — her sister, an aunt, and several cousins — in her photo shoot. The next-best known member of Richardson’s family may be her grandmother Betty Harp, who she affectionately calls “Big Momma” and is the person who raised her. After both of Richardson’s Olympic-qualifying runs in 2021 and earlier this year, she ran to the stands and into Harp’s arms.

The new Netflix documentary Sprint follows some of the world’s most elite sprinters as they prepare for the biggest championship on the track and field calendar. Viewers are introduced to athletes like Noah Lyles, Sha’Carri Richardson, and Marcell Jacobs competing across the international Diamond League circuit. Throughout six episodes, we get to see the dedication and sacrifices required of these incredibly talented individuals as they push their bodies to the limit in pursuit of gold.

While the 100- and 200-meter distances may only last seconds, we learn that the journey of an elite sprinter is measured in years. Preparation is intense and demands a huge commitment. We witness their grueling training regimes and get a glimpse into both their professional and personal lives. Whether it’s overcoming injuries or the pressure of living up to past achievements, each athlete faces challenges. But it’s their drive and belief in themselves that make them champions.

The calendar flipped to July this week. There is plenty of ongoing scripted programming to help you pass the time indoors and away from the oppressive heat and humidity of summer. But in terms of new shows, Netflix’s latest sports documentary series, “Sprint: The World’s Fastest Humans,” is the highlight of the long holiday weekend.

The streaming service’s newest addition is a six-episode series that offers viewers a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to be not just an elite athlete but one of the fastest people alive. A perfectly timed primer for the Paris Olympics later this month, the show — all episodes of which are now streaming on Netflix — follows top sprinters throughout the 2023 World Championships, including Americans Sha’Carri Richardson and Noah Lyles, and Jamaican superstar Shericka Jackson, among others. If you can keep up, “Sprint: The World’s Fastest Humans” is the awards contender to watch this weekend.

New month, new programming slate at Netflix, and while the streamer won’t be hosting the 2024 Paris Olympics Games—you'll have to head to Peacock for that—it’s ready to help you get in the competitive spirit with its July programming!

First, on July 2, stream “Sprint,” which tracks the long journey from the 2023 World Championships to the 2024 Paris Olympic Games for the fastest runners in the world, including Sha’Carri Richardson, Noah Lyles, and Shericka Jackson. Then, on July 19, the first part of the multi-part “Simone Biles Rising” will follow the Olympian on her path to becoming a healthier athlete and human after her withdrawal from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

In scripted sports, start your month with “The Karate Kid,” which comes to the platform on July 1 and get ready for the extra-large sixth and final season premiere of the hit sequel series “Cobra Kai.”

Gold medals are one thing, but for many wealthy Americans heading to Paris for the Olympics, running July 26 to Aug. 11, there’s more to their must-dos than seeing Simone Biles, Sha’Carri Richardson and LeBron James compete — or spotting NBC Sports’ “chief superfan commentator” Leslie Jones taking in the action.

“The top request is an Hermès appointment,” says Jason Squatriglia of travel agency Embark Beyond. “It has to be a guaranteed leather goods [meeting], not just to get in the store and skip the line. They want to know they’ll be shown, perhaps, a mini Kelly or an exotic.” It’s a hint of the caliber of clients he’s sending to the Games. “These are not your traditional sports fans — these are your F1, Art Basel, Frieze clients, who want to do the best of the best and turn it into an exclusive shopping experience, like shutting Boucheron down on Place Vendôme.

Netflix is adding to its sports docuseries lineup with three new shows centered on the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics as well as Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.

In partnership with the International Olympic Committee, Netflix is doing docuseries on gymnastics great Simone Biles, the U.S. men’s basketball team, and Olympic track athletes, the last of which was ordered last year and is now titled “Sprint.”

The Biles series is titled “Simone Biles: Rising,” and will debut its first part in July ahead of the Summer Games. The series consists of four 45-minute episodes. The official description states:

“Simone Biles has unfinished business. At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, she was one of the biggest stories leading into the Games. But in sport, as in life, competitions do not always go as planned. And for Simone, the world had a front row seat as her private struggle with mental health exploded on...

Netflix and the International Olympic Committee are partnering on three new sports series: Simone Biles: Rising, Olympic Men’s Basketball and Sprint.

Each show offers viewers unique access behind the scenes of the upcoming Olympic Games Paris 2024 and are set to premiere this summer and fall and early 2025.

Simone Biles: Rising follows Biles and her return to the Olympic stage after withdrawing from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics to focus on her mental health. Since then, she’s put in the work rebuilding her gymnastics from the ground up and she’s ready for this next stage of competition.

Part 1 will premiere in July ahead of the start of the Paris games. The four-episode series is produced by Religion of Sports in association with the Olympic Channel. Gotham Chopra, Ameeth Sankaran, Giselle Parets and Janey Miller executive produce. Kate Walsh will direct.

Olympic Men’s Basketball is a 6-episode series that...

Netflix is getting into the Olympic spirit with its newest batch of sports documentaries.

The streamer has partnered with the International Olympic Committee on three series following gymnastics superstar Simone Biles and athletes in men’s basketball and track and field. Filmmaking teams for the three shows will gain access to the athletes and venues at the summer games in Paris.

Separately, Netflix has ordered a series about the Dallas Cowboys and owner Jerry Jones, with a focus on the team’s dominant years in the early and mid-1990s. The company made the announcements as part of its first-ever upfront on Wednesday — where it also announced its biggest push into live sports so far with a deal to carry NFL games on Christmas for the next three years.

Biles’ return for her third Olympics will be chronicled in Simone Biles: Rising, which will run in two parts. The first...

Last summer, Richardson earned the “The World’s Fastest Woman” title at the World Athletic Track and Field Championship for her 100-meter sprint win. She’s poised to run for...

Cardi B is joining the parade of celebrities starting to talk about the Olympics for NBCUniversal.

The rapper appears in a 90-second promo Saturday evening during NBC’s telecast of the Kentucky Derby, meeting up; with sprinter and Olympic hopeful Sha’Carri Richardson that spotlights the next Summer Olympics, slated to begin July 26. NBCU and its corporate parent, Comcast, hold rights to broadcast the athletic extravaganza in the U.S.

“With the Paris Olympics quickly approaching, we are continuing our push to create combustible moments that will break through the clutter and resonate across multiple audiences,” said Jenny Storms, NBCU’s chief marketing officer of entertainment and sports, in a statement. “Pairing Sha’Carri with Cardi was a natural fit. They are titans in their respective fields, mutual fans of each other, and share many common interests. Audiences across sports, music, and pop culture will gravitate to their genuine affection and respect.

Teenage Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva was banned from the sport for four years over a positive doping test taken just before the 2022 Winter Olympics, the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled on Monday.

Some 10,500 athletes from more than 200 countries converge on the City of Light this summer for the Games of the Xxxiii Olympiad, and anticipation of greatness is, naturally, high. With only a six-hour time difference between New York City and Paris, expect live events during the afternoon and, says Molly Solomon, head of NBC Olympics Production, “a dynamic three-hour prime-time show.” Here are some golden moments we’re looking forward to. 1. U.S. Stars Seeking Another Shot at Glory Simone Biles, history’s greatest gymnast, will try to erase her uneven 2021 performance. “She’s back, I think, to write her own personal coda to this amazing career,” Solomon says.

Winnie Harlow is reclaiming her power this Halloween. On Oct. 31, the model dressed as Cruella de Vil from Disney's classic "101 Dalmatians" movie. From the dual-tone bouffant to her wickedly sharp eyeliner, Harlow nailed the villainous look. This year, however, the black-and-white ensemble was more than just a nostalgic pop culture costume. On Instagram, Harlow revealed her costume choice was inspired by her childhood bullies, who often teased her about her vitiligo, a skin condition that affects the melanin in certain areas of the skin.

"This Halloween is really dedicated to little Winnie."

"Growing up I got teased a lot for my skin," Harlow said. "I got called everything you already know.. and Dalmatian. That really got to me when I was little. So much so that I realized I had a bit of disdain for the film as a child." Though Harlow disliked...

Budapest, Aug 26 (Ians) Both Yulimar Rojas and Haruka Kitaguchi triumphed at the World Athletics Championships with their final attempts while Noah Lyles added the 200m title to his 100m crown. Yulimar Rojas, the world record holder and Olympic champion in the women’s triple jump, was far from her best form as she was eighth in 14.33m with only one jump to go, reports Xinhua.

But the 27-year-old Venezuelan only needed one opportunity to leave everyone behind. A final jump of 15.08m enabled her to win the world title four times in a row, as Maryna Bekh-Romanchuk of Ukraine and Cuban Leyanis Perez Hernanedez followed behind in 15.00m and 14.96m respectively.

“It was very difficult. The fact that I won the competition with my last attempt makes it very special and memorable,” said Rojas. “This is my seventh world championship gold in a row (outdoors and indoors), but this is...

Budapest, Aug 22 (Ians) Debutant Sha’Carri Richardson outshone several renowned sprinters to clinch the top spot in the women’s 100m race at the World Championships on Monday.

The 23-year-old American, beginning inconspicuously from the ninth lane, surged impressively, clocking a new tournament record of 10.65 seconds, Xinhua reports.

In a riveting face-off at center stage, Jamaican veterans Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Shericka Jackson vied for dominance. Fraser-Pryce’s season-best of 10.77 seconds fell short against Jackson’s 10.72 seconds. The pair could only observe as an elated Richardson jubilantly celebrated on the track.

“I’m here. I’m the champion. I told you all. I’m not back, I’m better,” expressed Richardson, who had missed the Tokyo Olympic Games due to a suspension for cannabis use and failed to qualify for the previous year’s World Championships because of subpar performance.

Holding five world champion titles in the event, Fraser-Pryce divulged her intent to forgo the 200m race.
