GLASGOW, Scotland, CMC – Trinidad and Tobago national champion Michelle-Lee Ahye stunned Olympic champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce as she starred for the second straight Diamond League meet by storming to victory at the Glasgow Grand Prix here Saturday.
The 22-year-old crossed the line first in 11.01 seconds, with Jamaican Fraser-Pryce finishing second in a season-best 11.10 seconds and Ivory Coast’s Murielle Ahoure, third 11.17.
Jamaicans Kerron Stewart (11.22) and Simone Facey (11.30) were fourth and fifth respectively.
Earlier this month in Lausanne, Ahye raced to victory in the 100 metres there to reiterate the form that saw her run a world-leading 10.85 at the National Championships last month.
Meanwhile, World and Olympic champion Fraser-Pryce continued her losing streak on the circuit, and has now come up short in her last five outings.
Running out of lane three, Fraser-Pryce trailed leader Cote D’Ivoire’s Murielle Ahoure in lane four until the half-way mark before taking command. She looked to be closing in on victory but Ahye in lane five stormed through in the last ten metres to take victory.
In the men’s 400 metres, Bahamian Chris Brown took second spot in 44.94 seconds, as Botswana’s Isaac Makwala snatched victory in a time of 44.71 seconds.
