Four Olympic medals including back-to-back gold in the 100m, seven IAAF World Championship medals - highlighted by gold medals in the 100m (2009, 2013) and the 200m (2013), as well as 60m gold at the IAAF World Indoor Championships last month, marks an unprecedented spell of dominance, which started when an unknown 21-year-old crossed the line in second place at the Jamaican Olympic Trials in 2008.
For many, including her coach, Stephen Francis, she is already the greatest championship sprinter in history - for her, its what she leaves behind when she walks away from the sport that is more important.
"I don't pay much attention to where I fall in history. When I decide to leave the sport, I want to leave it better than I saw it. I want to make sure that other young athletes can see that you need to work hard, you need to stay humble, you need to stay focused and the sky is the limit," smiled the 2013 World Female Athlete of the Year and Diamond League winner.

Dont want to corrupt ur thread... but this interview with her coach that is illuminating
Shelly ann wasnt seen as obvious success at 5:58 by others....This guys is cold and focus and does not take success for granted...
His critique of school coaches is worth listening to about the youngster preparation at 14 mins... but his comment on wastage of athletes....Shelly Ann will be at the commonwealth games...she is going the double gold in Brazil....
He looks a head....he knows his limitation....
World class Jamaican...not sure ..
Love his joke about James!Last edited by Wahalla; 04-19-2014, 02:56 AM.
