(CNN)In 2008, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce made Olympic history at the Beijing Games, when she and fellow Jamaican sprinters Sherone Simpson and Kerron Stewart won their island's first-ever podium sweep in the women's 100m final.

The then 21-year-old Fraser-Pryce ran the event in 10.78 seconds to claim gold, just a day after Olympic legend Usain Bolt won his -- and his country's -- first-ever men's 100m Olympic crown.
