Sprint queen Fraser-Pryce cruises in London as Obiri shines in 5000 metres

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce fired a warning to her sprint rivals ahead of the world championships as Hellen Obiri set the fastest time of the year in the 5000 metres at the London Anniversary Games on Sunday.

Jamaica's Fraser-Pryce got away quickly in the 100m final and never looked like being caught by home favourite Dina Asher-Smith, winning in a time of 10.78 seconds. World 200m champion Dafne Schippers was disqualified after a false start at the Diamond League event.

"It's a long season and I've been training and training," said 32-year-old Fraser-Pryce, who won Olympic 100m gold in 2008 and repeated the feat on the same London track four years later.

"To come out here and run 10.78 is a fabulous time. I feel good. The aim is to make sure when I get to Doha (world championships) that I'm on point." No Americans were in the 100m field at the London Stadium because their world championship qualifiers are coming up this week.

Kenya's Obiri, world champion in the women's 5000m, posted a time of 14 minutes 20.36 seconds -- the best of the year so far.

Dutch runner Sifan Hassan, who broke the 23-year-old women's mile record in Monaco last week, had to settle for bronze.

"I am so happy because this is my favourite track and I have done my best and I ran the way I wanted to," said Obiri.

"In the last lap I was thinking, work hard and I said to myself when I went past Hassan: 'let me go and see if you can catch me'. I have been training well and this will help when I defend my title in Doha."

"I just told myself to go fast. This gives me a lot of confidence for the world championships."
