Sprint Dynamo Shelly-Ann Fraser says she can run even faster than the smashing 10.73 seconds she ran for the 100 metres title in Berlin, Germany, on Monday.

JIS News caught up with the 'pocket rocket' at the athletes' village today as she wound down from her scintillating performance to crown herself world champion.

She said she was not thinking about a national record but after some problems in the quarter-finals, coach Stephen Francis convinced her that she could take the title and she went out and fought for it.
