Shericka Jackson: I went out and put on a show

Shericka Jackson athletics

Shericka Jackson won her first world individual title in Eugene and did it in incredible fashion – with a second all-time 200m time of 21.45 sec.

“I feel great. I went out and put on a show. Fastest woman alive, national record and championship record, I can’t complain”, said Shericka Jackson.

The 28-year-old sprinter has plenty of individual medals in her career, including a silver in the 100m in Eugene last weekend, but now she has also won a first individual world title.

“I know Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is probably one of the best corner sprinters in the world, so I had to run the curve as hard as I could. I know I’m strong and fast before the finish, so I knew when I eventually caught up to her. I can overtake her”, added the champion.

Shericka Jackson said she doesn’t think about times and records. The pinnacle of achievement for Florence Griffith Joyner, who died in 1998 aged 38, was once thought to be untouchable, but not anymore.

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, 35, who won the world 200m title in 2013, got off to a flying start and led until the turn before Shericka Jackson overtook her.

“I was really tired physically and mentally, but I wanted to go out and have a good run”, said Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce.
