Elaine Thompson-Herah (C) and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce (L) of Jamaica competes during the Women's 100m Final at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan, July 31, 2021. The 34-year-old took time away from the sport to have a baby but arrived in Tokyo on the back of an astonishing 10.63 run - the fastest time this year. The field for the semi-finals was weakened after Nigerian sprinter and 2008 Olympics long jump silver medallist Blessing Okagbare missed out after failing a doping test. Okagbare had comfortably won her 100m heat on Friday with a time of 11.05 seconds. Briton Dina Asher-Smith, the 2019 world championship 100m silver medallist, failed to qualify for the final.
