The former Olympic and World Champion from Jamaica is the fastest woman in the world this year (10,73) and she heads the field in Brussels. Fraser-Pryce also holds the Meeting Record in Brussels (10,72) and won in Lausanne and in London this year. But European champion and extremely talented Dina Asher-Smith from Great Britain is always a threat, and the likes of Marie-Jos\u00e9e Ta Lou, Blessing Okagbare, Dafne Schippers and Aleia Hobbs will also provide a tough challenge to Fraser-Pryce.
