Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is one of global sprinting’s icons, boasting five world titles in the 100 m, including one in Eugene just a few days ago. Topping this year’s world ranking in the 100 m with 10''67, a time she has run no fewer than three times this season already, ‘Mommy Rocket’ is head and shoulders above her rivals right now. Competing in the 100 m in Monaco, the Jamaican will be targeting the meeting record (10''72), an honour that has been in the hands of Marion Jones since 1998...
In the 110 m hurdles, Grant Holloway is carving out a very fine track record for himself: world record in the 60 m hurdles, double world champion in the 110 m hurdles and the second fastest time in history (12''81 in 2021) behind compatriot Aries Merritt. In Monaco, on what is renowned as a quick track, he’s sure to have his sights on the meeting record (12''93 in 2012), a record currently held by... Aries Merritt. Watch this space.
