Doha Diamond League: Fraser-Pryce beaten by Jamaican starlet Tia Clayton

Two-time Olympic 100m champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce was outshone by fellow Jamaican Tia Clayton at the Doha Diamond League meeting on Friday.

Fraser-Pryce, 38, was competing on the Diamond League circuit for the first time for three years but could only finish fourth in the women’s 100m as 20-year-old Clayton won easily in a world-leading 10.92sec.

Clayton’s twin sister Tina was second in 11.02sec while Britain’s Amy Hunt finished third in 11.03sec and Fraser-Pryce clocked a season’s best 11.05sec for fourth.

Fraser-Pryce, who is competing in what is likely to be her final season, suffered a disappointing Paris Olympics last year, withdrawing from the 100m semifinals.

Tia Clayton showed she has the potential to become Jamaica’s next sprint queen by reaching the final of that event, finishing seventh in the French capital.
