Shelly-Ann IS 14 years older than Sha'carri. That's a fact. When she won her first gold medal, Sha'carri was 8 years old. Now Shelly-Ann is doing a darn good job keeping up with this new crop of sprinters. Major props to her!

[@voornaamachternaam5745]

Shacarri the goat

[@yecart5691]

@voornaamachternaam5745 Not yet. She hasn't won any Olympic medals, specifically Gold medals and at multiple Olympics. She's 23. If she stays healthy, keep winning and hopefully a world record or 2, then she'll be the goat.

[@melaniethebroker]

Shelly was 18 when she won her first gold medal at the Olympics …. So that would make shacarri 5 at the time ( Shelly turned 19 later that year ) Omg she was literally a baby lolololol

It's a Texas respect thing actually. Many years ago I moved to dallas from Kansas and never heard people put MISS in front of an older person's a name and now i do it.😂 Its very common here.

​@@johnapplegate4020yea you're probably right. I'm just saying Texas cause I live where sha'carri is from.

Thats a southern thing. It starts when you hit Virginia and goes all the way down south and into the deep south. You'll get a little in NY, PA, DC and DE

[@MushaiEditz]

Im truly proud of her. She lost her mother at such a young age, the whole world was against her INCLUDING her own damn teammates, they critized and ridicule her(except for the jamaican sprint queens since they just mind their own business) and she decided to settle down and started to train hard and it payed off. Congrats shaccari and i believe you can break the WR. Shelly could do it IF she was a bit younger and shericka can too but the biggest chance is this young woman right her. Love you girl.

@antoineeandre1218 I'm talking about her streak of making the podium yes she won in 2008 and 2009 but in 2011 she was 4th, failing to make the podium. I'm talking about her streak of making the podium. Her 2011 loss would mean her winning streak was ended, so I wouldn't count 200 and 2009. Hence why I started from 2012.

She also look young for her age.clearly you don’t.

[@quashonahardesty6538]

She wasnt being sarcastic when mentioning that she grew up watching Shelly-Ann compete, its just a fact that shes at least 14 years Sha'Carri's senior and she wasnt throwing shade of any sort, she was actually giving Shelly-Ann her props and flowers by saying shes still competing and showing up at every podium. Shelly's competing at a high level still at the ripe age of 36 years old. Yes, Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce is 36 years old. Shes amazing!!!

[@elijahharrison9644]

LOVED how she corrected the reporter with the pronunciation of her name and she was polite and firm in correcting him. A person tries to diminish you by pronouncing your name incorrectly . Basically she was saying: you may not like me but my NAME will be said with respect and CORRECTLY.

[@sondradavis5007]

EXACTLY 💯

[@mickymogz]

❤ Sha'Carri, but I think she should go a bit slow on the name pronunciation 😂 She was in a meet in Nairobi Kenya, earlier this year and said the same thing. The corrections apply in the USA but not in other countries with heavy accent's.

[@queenchef__]

Exactly! Stop playing with her! ❗️🥰🙌🏽

[@user-ze3sg6ix1u]

No one is trying to diss her stop this

[@SEAndies]

Everyone relax. Take a chill pill it ain’t that’s serious she was polite and just telling him what it is. Just like how I realized I was technically pronouncing Rihanna’s name wrong all these years… ia actually “Reee Anna”I love her as an artist. No disrespect at all. Just you hardly get to hear the ACTUAL person say their name. And duh we don’t see them in person regularly. It ain’t got to do w like or don’t like. Breathe in and out lol. Love sha’ Carri too
