Ronaldo, Nadal, Fraser-Pryce: The top 11 athletes over the age of 35

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce won a record fifth women’s 100 metre world title after bolting to victory in 10.67 seconds in Oregon.

It was a Jamaican clean sweep after Shericka Jackson and Elaine Thompson-Herah finished with silver and bronze respectively.

At 35-years-old, Fraser Pryce became the first to win five world titles in an individual track event.

The two-time Olympic champion first earned a 100m world title in 2009, and she now has 10 across the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m relay.

“I feel blessed to have this talent and to continue to do it at 35, having a baby, still going, and hopefully inspiring women that they can make their own journey,” Fraser-Pryce said.

With the age-defying sprinter making headlines at the World Athletics Championships, GiveMeSport Women lists 11 athletes who are still smashing it over the age of 35.

There’s not much more to say about the sprinting sensation. Fraser-Pryce may have lost out on the Olympic 100m and 200m titles to Elaine Thompson-Herah last year, but the World Championships is where she thrives.

Her most recent victory made her the oldest female sprinter to claim a world 100m title, just five years after giving birth to her first child.
