A former Olympic champion turned heads after she took part in a race at her son's school sports day and laid waste to the opposition.
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is a multiple Olympic sprinting champion and has eight medals to her name from four different games.
The 38-year-old Jamaican athlete won gold in the 100m at Beijing 2008 and followed it up by defending her crown at London 2012, as well as picking up silver medals in the 200m and 4x100m relay.
At Rio 2016, Fraser-Pryce was unable to make it three 100m crowns in a row and ended up claiming a bronze medal in the event, plus another silver medal in the 4x100m relay.

At Tokyo 2020 - which was delayed a year due to the Covid-19 pandemic - Fraser-Pryce took silver in the individual 100m event, but picked up a gold in the 4x100m as part of the victorious Jamaican team.
Fraser-Pryce did compete at Paris 2024 - which she confirmed would be her final Olympics - and she only competed in the 100m.
She made it through to the 100m semi-final but had to withdraw after picking up an injury during her warmup, thus ending his Olympic career.
Despite that disappointing end to her time at the Olympics, Fraser-Pryce is regarded as one of the greatest sprinters of all time.
Fraser-Pryce is the third fastest woman in history and she has displayed that pedigree once again, though not on an Olympic track this time, but a more modest one.
She showed she is still capable to winning when she absolutely demolished other parents when she took part in a race at her son Zyon's school sports day.
Footage of the race shows Fraser-Pryce leaving the other parents for dead as she streaked ahead and won by an incredible margin of nearly 50m.
Taking to Instagram to document the day, Fraser-Pryce joked about her win: "They haven’t banned me yet so I’m at the line."
The doting mum also posted pictures of her son after he has won races at the sports day, with two medals around his neck, saying she was proud of her 'champion'.
And she recently announced on social media that she is not retiring from athletics yet after posting a video showing her continuing to train and the message 'unfinished business'.
