Bolt, Fraser-Pryce included in Jamaican Commonwealth Games team

Usain Bolt (L) and Shell-Ann Fraser-Pryce

Six-time Olympic and eight-time World champion Usain Bolt and two-time Olympic gold medallist Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce have been named in Jamaica’s 68-member strong athletics team for the upcoming Commonwealth Games. Since both missed last weekend's Jamaican Championships – the selection meeting for the Commonwealth Games – as they requested medical exemptions, they are expected to compete in the 4x100m relay only.

Fraser-Pryce is not in the best of form right now, having put in a string of poor performances in recent diamond league meetings. 

Apart from, Bolt and Fraser-Pryce, some of the notable Olympic and World medallists to watch out for for are Warren Weir, Hansle Parchment, Veronica Campbell-Brown, Kerron Stewart, Novelene Williams-Mills and Kaliese Spencer.
