The 37-year-old, a five-time world and two-time Olympic 100m champion, is competing at her final Games before retirement.

Fraser-Pryce qualified from her heat on Saturday but did not line up to compete for a place in the final.

But she could yet add to her total haul of 24 global medals as part of Jamaica’s women’s 4x100m team, who won gold in Tokyo three years ago.

Fraser-Pryce was bidding to make the 100m podium at a fifth successive Olympic Games after being denied a third title by team-mate Elaine Thompson-Herah in Tokyo three years ago.

The third-fastest woman in history with a personal best of 10.60, Fraser-Pryce announced her decision to retire in February – 17 years after she first appeared on the global stage for Jamaica’s 4x100m relay team at the 2007 World Championships.
