On Saturday, the 33-year-old track legend, won her 100m heat in a world-leading 10.87s, just 0.01 faster than Elaine Thompson-Herah, who ran in another heat. Then on Sunday, eight-years and a day since she won an Olympic 200m silver medal in London, the four-time World 100m champion, won her 200-metre heat in 22.57.

On Sunday, it was the fifth-fastest time in the world and second fastest on the day behind Thompson-Herah’s 22.19.

However, 20-year-old American sprint sensation Sha’Carri Richardson ran a personal best 22.00 at the Star Athletics Sprint Showcase in Monteverde, bumping Thompson-Herah down to third and Fraser-Pryce to sixth.

Nonetheless, Fraser-Pryce said the weekend performances was a good benchmark heading into what could be her penultimate season when she also plans to run a lot more half-lap sprints.

“Considering how the season is going I am pleased with the effort over the weekend,” she told Sportsmax.TV on Monday. “(It) definitely has given me something to hold onto this season and heading in the next season. More 200s for sure.”

Fraser-Pryce has a 200m gold medal from the 2013 World Championships in Moscow. At the 2012 London Olympics, she ran personal best 22.09s.

Fraser-Pryce won section two of the event, getting the better of Sashalee Forbes, 11.20, and Kasheika Cameron, 11.56.

Thompson-Herah won section three of the event, clocking an equally quick 10.88 seconds to get the better of Natasha Morrison, 11.25, and Anthonique Strachan, 11.46.

When all the times were collated, Fraser-Pryce led from Thompson-Herah, while Forbes was third overall.

Coming into the race, Fraser-Pryce had clocked 11.28, while Thomson-Herah had 11.41.

In the men’s event, the returning Nesta Carter clocked 10.20 to win section 5, just ahead of Oshane Bailey, 10.24.

Carter’s sectional win was only good enough for second, as Tyquendo Tracey’s 10.20 in section four, saw him finish just ahead, while Romario Williams’ 10.21 and second place in that heat saw him third overall.
