Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce has withdrawn from the Saturday’s Kip Keino Classic after suffering a knee injury while training on Thursday, according to reports emerging from Kenya.

The 36-year-old Jamaican was expected to open her season in the 100m at the meet where she ran a then world-leading 10.67s. She arrived in Kenya earlier this week after winning the 2023 Laureus Sportswoman of the Year Award on Monday.

However, according to Sports Brief, the three-time Olympic gold medallist suffered the injury while training and has left the country to seek specialized treatment in Italy.

Fraser-Pryce missed the Botswana Golden Grand Prix on April 29 citing a 'family emergency.'
