Eight-time Olympic medallist Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is aiming to compete at the Paris 2024 Olympics, despite being 37 when the Games roll around.

The Jamaican sprinter, who won the 100 metres title at Beijing 2008 and defended it four years later in London, says she will now aim to win her third 100m crown in Paris, 16 years after she won her first. 

Fraser-Pryce was edged out by compatriot Elaine Thompson-Herah at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics this year - Thompson-Herah's victory meant the Jamaican pair had won the last four 100m Olympic titles - and came home with a 100m silver and gold in the 4x100m, which she won alongside Thompson-Herah.

Fraser-Pryce also won the 100m world title in 2019 in Doha and will look to defend her title in Oregon next year, after the 2021 World Athletics Championships were delayed due to the one-year postponement of the Olympics.

After that, she says she could see herself competing in Paris. 

"Before, I counted it (Paris 2024) out, but then after the season and just the progress, you kind of know there's more," she told Sky Sports.

"You want to take it a year at a time because I'm looking forward to defending my (world) title at 2022 in Oregon.

"After that season, you look again and you're still feeling good then why not give it a shot.

"Paris 2024, I could definitely see it as a thing."

At 34, Fraser-Pryce is still at the peak of her powers, having run a personal best of 10.6sec at the Diamond League meeting in Lausanne following the Olympics.

And she says that 10.5 is possible, with the United States' Florence Griffith-Joyner's controversial 10.49 world record set in 1988 in her sights.

Thompson-Herah, meanwhile, set the second-fastest 100m time ever at the Eugene Diamond League meet in August, winning in 10.54.

In all, Fraser-Pryce has three Olympic gold medals, eight in total, and nine world titles.
