The 2023 season has not been a great one for Jamaica. The team was dominated by the United States in the 100m and the relay race as well. However, in the 200m, Jamaican sprinter Shericka Jackson continues to bring a win for her country. The athlete, after surpassing Sha?Carri Richardson on the Budapast tracks, went on to strike her magic on the Swiss tracks.

After forcing Sha’Carri Richardson to settle for bronze in the World Athletics Championships, Shericka Jackson gained another win at the Zurich Diamond League. However, the athlete, despite clocking an impressive time, was not able to break Flo-jo?s 200-meter record. Later, the athlete revealed the struggle behind not being able to achieve the goal.

Shericka Jackson Reveals the reason

Recently, in an interview, Shericka Jackson revealed her struggles whilst clinching her win at the Diamond League. On Friday, Flo Track posted the video of the sprinter’s interview with the caption, “Shericka Jackson isn’t a fan of the chilly weather in Zurich, but she takes the 200m win dominating at the Zurich DL.”

In the video, Jackson, while highlighting her experience in the Swiss tracks, said, “I?m feeling good, but I’m just under the weather. As cold, not allowing me to breathe properly, but I’m okay, I’m here, and I can?t complain.”

Further, while talking about her staunch win in the 200m as the World Athletics Champion, stoked Jackson stated, “I ran my fastest 200 timing in Budapest; it was a pretty good run, and I ran a personal best record, a national record, and a championship record. There?s nothing more I could have asked.” And on Thursday, despite not being able to break the World record, the athlete was able to put another win under her name at the Diamond League.
