In the women's 100-meter run at the World Championships in Berlin , she won on August 17, 2009 with 10.73 seconds. With the Jamaican relay, she won another gold medal in the 4 x 100 meter run . In 2010 she became the Jamaican champion over 200 meters.

In 2011 she reached the final over 100 meters at the World Championships in Daegu , where she finished fourth with a time of 10.99 s. Together with Kerron Stewart, Sherone Simpson and Veronica Campbell-Brown , she won the silver medal at these world championships in the 4 x 100 meter relay competition with a time of 41.70 s.

With a time of 10.70 s, she set a new national record over 100 meters at the 2012 Jamaican Trials.

At the Olympic Games in London in 2012 she won the gold medal over 100 meters with 10.75 s, the silver medal over 200 meters with 22.09 s and in the final together with Veronica Campbell-Brown, Sherone Simpson and Kerron Stewart with 41.41 s the silver medal in the 4 x 100 meter relay. In 2012 she was voted Jamaica's Sportswoman of the Year for the first time .

In 2013, Fraser-Pryce was crowned world champion over 100 meters and over 200 meters at the World Championships in Moscow with 10.71 seconds. In the same year she was named IAAF World Athlete of the Year. Two years later, at the World Championships in Beijing , Fraser-Pryce managed to win the 100-meter run for the third time, something no other athlete had ever done before. She won the final in 10.76 s ahead of Dafne Schippers (10.81 s) from the Netherlands . Also with the season she won the title for the third time.

In 2016, she qualified behind Elaine Thompson at the Jamaican Championships for the 100-meter distance at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. There she won the bronze medal in a new season best of 10.86 s. As in 2012 in London, she won silver in the relay competition.

After the birth of her son Zyon in August 2017 - she had not competed in 2017 due to the pregnancy - she made her comeback on May 5, 2018 at a meeting in Kingston , where she ran 11.52 seconds. In the course of the season she started exclusively over 100 meters, where she steadily increased and after a second place at the Jamaican championships on July 21 at the Diamond League meeting in London for the first time since her break with 10.98 seconds again under 11 seconds stayed.

In 2019, like five years earlier, she won bronze in the non-Olympic 4 x 200 meter relay competition at the IAAF World Relays . At the national championships in June, she ran her fastest time since 2013 with 10.73 s and finished second behind Elaine Thompson . With victories at the Diamond League meetings in Lausanne (10.74 s) and London (10.78 s), she confirmed her good form. She won the gold medal over 200 meters at the Pan American Games 2019 in Lima with 22.43 s.

At the World Championships in Doha 2019 she won in 10.71 s and won her fourth gold medal at the World Championships in the 100-meter run.

Doping ban

After a meeting on May 23, 2010 in Shanghai, she tested positive for the banned pain reliever oxycodone , which is a doping substance. Fraser justified the intake with severe toothache. The World Athletics Federation IAAF placed them on a six-month ban from competitions, following an application by the Jamaican Athletics Federation JAAA. He had spoken out in favor of reducing the otherwise usual two-year ban, as the circumstances of the incident were not the responsibility of the athlete. Fraser's suspension ended on January 7, 2011.

Private

On January 7, 2011, she married Jason Pryce. The two have had a son since 2017.
