CRI听力:Sprint Queen Fraser-Pryce Wins Third World 100m Title

2015-08-25来源:CRI

Jamaica's Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce has claimed her third Athletics World Championships 100 metres gold.

"I mean it feels good. In 2008 when I came here I was only 21 years old. I had no idea I would even be in the finals but I won. Just to come back here when I am 28 and, of course, defending champion in itself was a task. But I knew what I came here for and I just wanted to focus on getting that."

Dutch Dafne Schippers took silver, with American Tori Bowie claiming bronze.

Chinese 100-meter sprinter Wei Yongli failed to make it into the finals, finishing 8th in the semi-finals.

"The biggest achievement for me is that I competed in the individual events in this World Championships and this is my third edition. This is really big progress for me. Now I have my personal best time and I have spent two years to improve my result, getting 0.01 second faster. This process has been really difficult. But anyway, I like this discipline and I will continue to do it no matter how much I have to give out."

The 23-year-old is the first Chinese woman to reach semi-finals at the World Championships.
