Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce fixes hair mid-race and still qualifies from 200m heat
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce had to fix her wig mid-race as she cruised through her 200m heat at the World Athletics Championships.
The Jamaican sprinter can be seen reaching up to adjust her turquoise-coloured hair as she flies around the bend of the track.
She still managed to qualify for Tuesday’s semi-final, finishing second in her heat with a time of 22.26 seconds.
After the race, Fraser-Pryce - who owns her own hair salon in Jamaica - revealed she has brought at least 10 wigs to the tournament.
