Five-time world champion and Olympic sprint legend Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce has made headlines yet again after stealing the show, this time not at an international stadium, but at her son Zyon’s prep school.

The Jamaican sprint queen, affectionately known as the "Mommy Rocket", lit up the parents’ race with a blistering run that reminded everyone why she is one of the greatest to ever grace the track.

At that moment, she swapped the gold medals for a proud mom moment. She arrived at the school with a statement; her trademark smile, infectious energy, and a bold pre-race declaration in true Jamaican fashion, “Mi a go run hard! Mi a drop out dem gyal ya belly bottom!”

And she did just that.

In a now-viral video, Fraser-Pryce bolted ahead of fellow parents with such ease and speed that even the event’s drone seemed confused whether to follow her to the finish line and wait, or circle back for the others still catching up.

Unlike her casual, relaxed win two years ago, this time Fraser-Pryce brought a competitive edge to the race and ignited the track with her explosive acceleration.

That comical moment left parents stunned, kids wide-eyed, and teachers laughing as she left the field in her dust.

While the moment served as more than just schoolyard fun, it offered a glimpse into her current form ahead of the 2025 season.

The Jamaican endured a challenging 2024, where she withdrew from the Paris Olympic semifinal due to injury. She was looking to claim a medal in the 100m for a fifth consecutive Games, having won bronze in 2016 and silver in 2021.

Now in visibly better health, the sprint icon who once clocked 10.60 seconds in the 100m appears ready to reclaim her place at the top of the sport.
