Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce contender for more glory at Laureus World Sports Awards by Hindsight4Sport
Sprint icon will be among many of the world’s greatest sportsmen and women, past and present, who will be attending Paris event next monthJAMAICAN SPRINT icon Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce will be centre of attention once again next month. Fraser-Pryce will be among many of the world’s greatest sportsmen and women, past and present, who will be attending this year’s Laureus World Sports Awards, in Paris on May 8.
Also present will be Jamaica’s pocket rocket, the brilliant sprinter Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, who has won two individual sprint Olympic gold medals and six individual world titles, and Brazilian skateboard prodigy Rayssa Leal who won an Olympic silver medal in Tokyo at the age of 14. Also among the early confirmed attendees are some of the world’s most celebrated footballers, including Laureus Academy Members Luis Figo and Carlos Puyol, Laureus Ambassador Fabio Capello, French giants Patrice Evra and Claude Makélélé.
Lord Sebastian Coe, Laureus Academy Member and Chairman of the London 2012 Organising Committee, said: “I saw in 2012 the incredible impact the Olympic Games has on its host city. It’s about far more than elite competition, the change can be societal and it lasts long after the medals are handed out. That cycle began in earnest with the Laureus World Sports Awards, the greatest celebration of sport we have.
