Crowned world champion of the queen race for the fifth time less than a month ago, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce does not stop accelerating: in 10 sec 62, the Jamaican rocket still improved the best performance world of the year in the 100m in Monaco on Wednesday 10 August. Her compatriot, freshly vice-world champion Shericka Jackson, beat her personal best there in 10 sec 71 (against 10.73) and the Ivorian Marie-Josée Ta Lou set a new African record in 10 sec 72.
