32 Years Old & A Mum, Shelly-Ann Broke Usain Bolt's Record & Is Now The World's Fastest Woman (Read Full Gist)
Clocking 10.71 seconds after coming back from pregnancy break, her victory was historic in every sense of the word.
She is also the only woman to win a World Championships title after becoming a mother.
What stood out, though, were the pictures of Shelly-Ann holding her kid after the victory. "This is a victory for motherhood," she told AP .
A decade after her maiden World Championships title, Shelly-Ann did it for the fourth time.
Unlike her previous appearances, though, the victory wasn't really anticipated this time. She was coming after a break that she took while pregnant and was competing with the best around the world.
And in another interview given to CNN , she said:
My secret is just staying humble and just know who you are as a person and athlete and just continue to work hard. It’s a wonderful feeling having my son witnessing this.
