Dina Asher-Smith sparks speculation over potential partnership with Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce

British sprinter Dina Asher-Smith has got fans excited over a potential project in the works between her and Jamaican legend Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce following her latest social media post.

British sprinter Dina Asher-Smith has got fans wondering if there could be a new project in the works between her and Jamaican legend Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce.

Asher-Smith, who is on holiday in Mexico, posted on her Instagram story saying she was waiting for Fraser Pryce and American hurdler Anna Cockrell to join her, leaving fans excited over a potential project involving the two.

Fraser-Pryce has been mum over her next career move since pulling out of her semi-final race at the Paris 2024 Olympics and recently split up with her coach Raynaldo Walcott.

With Asher-Smith, now based in the United States, having started working with coach Edrick “Flo” Floreal ahead of the Paris Olympics, fans are now speculating if the two sprinters could end up training together or if it was something not related to their careers.

Fraser-Pryce is looking to revive her career in 2025 after enduring tough moments in the last two years where injuries and poor form slowed her down.

The 37-year-old recovered from an injury to win bronze and the 2023 World Championships but any hopes of a major comeback in Paris went up in smoke when she withdrew from her 100m race at the Olympics for reasons she is yet to reveal.

She has, however, been in good spirits attending to her Pocket Rocket Foundation, and was recently pictured on holiday alongside her family as she plots her next step.

Asher-Smith, meanwhile, did not meet her desires since her move to the US as she exited the 100m at the semi-final before finishing fourth in 200m with her saving grace being the 4x100m relay silver with Great Britain.
