Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce made it another Jamaican night at Beijing's iconic Bird's Nest at the world athletics championships on Monday, sprinting to the women's 100m gold for a record-tying third time - a feat that matches teammate Usain Bolt.

Like Bolt, Fraser-Pryce came into Beijing with two Olympic and two world titles in the 100m. And after Bolt claimed his third world title on Sunday, Fraser-Pryce did likewise on Monday.

"I am happy and proud to defend my third world title in a row. My message always is: No matter where you are from, no matter which past you have, it's all about your future and your goals. It's so much about being a successful woman. I will always work hard and do my best," said Fraser-Pryce, who clocked 10.76 seconds to win the title.

"When I ran the heats, I remembered when back in the 2008 Olympics, I was just 21 years old. I expected nothing then. And I came out here again tonight -- with a gold medal," added Fraser-Pryce.

Dafne Schippers of the Netherlands claimed silver in 10.81 and American Tori Bowie got bronze in 10.86. Endit
