Multiple Olympic and World Championship gold medal winner, Jamaican Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce has given birth to a bouncing baby boy. The child has been given the name Zyon.
Fraser-Pryce made the disclosure on her Facebook page on Tuesday morning.
“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are powerful, I know that full well. Welcome Zyon D. Pryce, August 7, 2017! To God be the glory for the things he has done, #HisWill #Chapter30 #PoiseandPerseverance#PrycelessJourney,” the post read.
The social media post was accompanied by a photo of the sprint diva and her husband Jason Pryce.
Fraser-Pryce burst on the international scene with a surprise gold medal run at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. Since then, she ruled women sprints winning six Olympic medals and nine World Championships medals.
Foot injury
A nagging foot injury impeded her athletic career in 2016. Although she made the Jamaican team that competed in the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and was touted to win gold in the 100 meters, she lost to her compatriot Elaine Thompson who won the gold.
Announced pregnancy
A few months after the Olympics as she underwent treatment for her foot, Fraser-Pryce announced that she was pregnant.
She has been adamant that she will bounce back to the sprint track after giving birth.
