What was said

">> Probably two. And you're one of them. >> And I'm one of them. Probably two or three."

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce tells Mel Robbins she believes only “two or three” women have dominated at the highest level of sprinting after becoming mothers. She describes continuing her career after having her son as a deliberate effort to challenge assumptions that women should retire after childbirth.
