Celebrating an enduring partnership that began in 2008, Nike honoured three-time Olympic gold medallist Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce on Monday evening with a cocktail reception on the pool deck at AC Hotel Kingston. As Fraser-Pryce prepares to race at the National Stadium for the final time at this week’s National Championships, she shared, “It’s one of those moments that I’m looking forward to because I have absolutely nothing to lose and all to gain.”

Among those who came out to show their support were her family, friends, well-wishers, and dignitaries, including Prime Minister Dr Andrew Holness, Opposition Leader Mark Golding, Sport Minister Olivia Grange, and representatives from Nike and GraceKennedy. Something Extra has the social highlights.
