Jamaican flag was raised high in the sky on Thursday when Shericka Jackson won a 200m Final World Championship 2022 in Oregon USA.
Running alongside Jamaica’s Shelly-Ann Fraser- Pryce and Great Britain’s Dina Asher-Smith completing a set of World Championship medals by winning the 200m gold medal, Jackson shredded Dafne Schippers championship record of 21.63 by clocking at the finish line with the fastest time in history being 21.45.
“I am feeling great once I came out and put on the show,” said Jackson.
“The fastest woman alive, the national and championships record, I cannot complain. I know that Shelly-Ann is probably one of the best curve runners in the world, so I knew she was going to go hard. I knew that if I want to get gold, I had to run the curve as hard as possible.”

Jackson is now one of the 200m Jamaican champions with Ottey, who won in 1993 and 1995, Veronica Campbell-Brown (2011) and Fraser-Pryce.
