Jamaican runner Shelley-Ann Fraser-Price was not allowed to enter the warm-up area of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, the athlete did not participate in the semi-final at a distance of 100 meters.
According to USA Today, Fraser-Pryce and another American rider, Sha’Karri Richardson, were denied entry to the warm-up area. It is worth noting that the reason for Fraser-Pryce’s ban may be the fact that she arrived at the competition in a personal car, and not on the team bus provided by the organizers.
– How can you change a rule and then say nothing? So you’re saying that all athletes who for whatever reason are not staying in the athletes’ village can’t go through the gate? We went through those gates yesterday, went through security and everything was fine. They want us to go all the way, where everyone gets away,” Fraser-Pryce said.
Fraser-Pryce is a three-time Olympic champion, and also has four Olympic silver medals and one Olympic bronze.
The games in the French capital will end on August 11.
