After failing to launch her season due to family commitments and injury, five-time world 100m champion is likely to open her 2023 season at Jamaica’s national championships next month.

The 36-year-old Fraser-Pryce pulled out of the Botswana Golden Grand Prix in April citing a family emergency. She would later pull out of the Kip Keino Classic in Nairobi, Kenya in May because of a knee injury that saw her fly out to Italy for treatment.

She subsequently returned to Jamaica where she returned to training just under a month ago but has not competed at any of the island’s All Comers meets put on by the Jamaica Athletic Administrative Association (JAAA), leaving fans speculating whether they would see her at all this season.

Having won the 100m title at the 2022 World Athletics Championships in July last year, Fraser-Pryce has a bye to the championships set for Budapest in August.

However, in a post on social media on Wednesday, the three-time Olympic gold medallist gave her fans something to quell their concerns.

“Just a girl from Waterhouse who continues to dream and believe! See you at National Trials!” the 2022 Laureus Female Athlete of the Year posted on Facebook.

Those words would have eased the fears of her fan base who can now look forward to seeing ‘Mommy Rocket’ at the National Stadium in Kingston from July 6-9.

In 2022, Fraser-Pryce delivered what is considered by many the greatest season by a female sprinter. She ran a record seven times under 10.7 second and won a record fifth 100m title at the World Championships to become the first running athlete in history to win five titles in the same event since the championships began in 1983.
