After Becoming World’s Second Fastest Woman, Shericka Jackson Can Beat Now Beat 33 Year Old Record

Shericka Jackson is one of the most powerful athletes in the arena of track and field. With her phenomenal performances on the tracks, she has undoubtedly earned the title of ‘track and field queen.’ The athlete has a knack for breaking records, especially in the 200m sprint. The last event that she participated in, was the World Athletics Championship 2023 and the athlete did something remarkable.

The Jamaican track and field queen retained her 200-meter title in the Budapest championship. Not only did she secure a gold medal but the star even broke her own record that she had set 12 months ago. After dominating this event, the athlete is looking forward to breaking the old record in the upcoming Diamond League.

The plausibility of breaking the world record in the Zurich Diamond League

Shortly after concluding the world championship, the Diamond League started and Jackson will be participating. Today on 31st August, the Zurich Diamond League is taking place in the Weltklass Zurich Stadium. According to a Twitter post by ‘Kemal Forde’ and Jamaica BServer Magazine, the meet record for women in the Zurich Diamond League was last set in 1990 by Jamaican star Marlene Ottey.

Ottey finished a 200-meter race with a time set of 21.66 seconds. But Shericka Jackson has a greater progress in lowering the time sets of 200-meter races. She raised the hopes even higher now after breaking her own record of 21.45 by 21.41 in the world championships. Hence, most likely, the star has the chance to break the deep-rooted world record of 1990 in 2023.

Shericka Jackson and her penchant for world record

In August 2023, before breaking the record in the World Championships, Shericka Jackson had an interview with the Olympics. She opened up about her thoughts on records. The Olympian said she achieved what she wanted to. The athlete added, “I’m not going to tell you that I want to break the world record every time I step on the track. I’m in pretty good shape, once I execute a good race, anything is possible.” Jackson always attains what she says and hopefully, this will be also one of the historic races.
