Fraser-Pryce taking it all in at final Olympics

Decorated sprinter Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is making the most of her fifth and final Olympic Games. 

From meeting fellow athletes in the Athlete's Village, to attending Rugby matches, Fraser-Pryce is taking mental pictures of experiences she enjoyed for the better part of a decade.

"I think this time around I have been having a good experience with the Olympic Spirit. Meeting people. Yesterday I went to rugby, first time going to a rugby match," Fraser Pryce said.

"My competition is this week, so that would be the last competition I could go to before I actually compete," she said.

Fraser-Pryce is looking to add one more Olympic medal to her haul of eight.

She is no stranger to the big occasions and she is prepared to do whatever it takes to successfully complete an Olympic journey which started in 2008.

"For me the competition is where you unleash everything you have be experiencing, how the training has been going. How you really want to represent not just yourself but your country," she stated.

The women's 100-metre races start on Friday at the Stade de France.
