By Amy Woodyatt, CNNShelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce ran a blazing, world-leading 10.62 seconds in the women’s 100-meter final at the Monaco Diamond League on Wednesday. The five-time 100m world champion, who raced to victory by a full meter, has now become the first woman to break 10.7 six times in one season. “I look forward to doing my personal best for the rest of the season,” she added. Florence Griffith-Joyner still holds the women’s 100m record of 10.49 seconds from 1988, ahead of Jamaica’s Elaine Thompson-Herah and Fraser-Pryce on the all-time list. Elsewhere, Olympic and world champion Faith Kipyegon broke the Kenyan record, the meet record and her personal best in the 1500m, but narrowly missed out on Ethiopian Genzebe Dibaba’s 2015 world record of 3:50.07.
