New Delhi, July 7 -- After men's Olympic champion Usain Bolt, women's Olympic gold-medallist Shelly-Ann Fraser has also decided to give a miss to this year's Commonwealth Games. The Jamaican sprinter, who is the fourth fastest woman in the history, said she wants to concentrate on next year's World Championships. "It is a long season and trying to peak for the Commonwealths and then coming home in December to start training for a World Championships (next year) is too much to ask, especially for someone like me who is a also a student.
