She also has her eyes set on next year’s Paris Olympic Games where she will be returning for the second time.
She took to the start line for the women’s 100m final and managed a third-place finish, an impeccable performance considering the challenges she has faced.
She was also in action for the 4x100m relay where she passionately competed for her country despite encountering a slight injury while competing. Team Jamaica finished second behind the USA whom they were used to beating.
However, despite the setbacks, Fraser-Pryce is not giving up on her career, and in a post on her Instagram page, she gave a glimpse of the rollercoaster she has been through and just went down memory lane.
She said: “As I contemplate lacing up my spikes again, I am moved by the warmth received by each and every one of you, and plan to continue honing my craft and representing my country.
Looking back 14 years from my first appearance at the World Athletics Championships and 16 medals later, it feels truly prolific.
A special “thank you” to the organizers whose swift response to my injury and recovery spoke volumes for their care and professionalism on and off the track.”
