The 37-year-old athlete, who has previously won two gold medals, a silver and a bronze in the event across five Olympic Games, was listed as a "did not start" on the official records.

Prior to the unfortunate incident, Fraser-Pryce's preparation for the race was disrupted by security personnel at the Stade de France, who delayed her entry into the stadium.

"They've changed the rules. We came through this gate before but now they're saying athletes who have left can't use this gate," Fraser-Pryce could be heard saying in the video.
