Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce will return to Nairobi, Kenya ready to race at the Kip Keino Classics.
World champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce has been confirmed to race at the Kip Keino Classics in Nairobi, Kenya, on May 13th.
It will be the Jamaican's second time in Africa this year after making her outdoor debut appearance at the Botswana Golden Grand Prix on April 29th.

Her maiden appearance was at the same meet in Nairobi last year, where she ran a blazing 10.67s for victory in the women's 100m.
Fraser-Pryce will later surpass the 10.70s mark seven times throughout last season and one of those performances – her 10.67s for the World title in Oregon – was a Championship Record (CR), which saw her become the first athlete to win five World titles in a single individual running event.
Her victory in Oregon came almost fourteen years after her first global 100m title, making her the oldest-ever World Champion in any individual track event.

She added 200m and 4x100m Silver medals, ending up with three medals at the championship, then capped her season at the Diamond League final in Zurich, where she won her fourth Diamond trophy in a Meeting Record (MR) of 10.65s.
