Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, the two-time reigning Olympic and world 100m champion, will not contest the 200m at the Rio Olympics, according to reports.
Fraser-Pryce withdrew before the Jamaican Olympic Trials 200m final Sunday night, reportedly due to continued problems with a toe injury that has bothered her since at least early spring.
“No medical exemption was submitted for Shelly-Ann,” for a spot on the Olympic 200m team, the president of Fraser-Pryce’s track club said, according to Agence France-Presse.
On Friday, Fraser-Pryce finished second in the Jamaican Trials 100m to make the Rio team in that event and the 4x100m relay.
