Shericka Jackson sets sights on 200m glory at Paris 2024

Double world champion adjusts focus based on current form

Olympic gold and Flo-Jo's world record in her sights

Double world 200m champion Shericka Jackson has made a strategic decision to focus solely on that distance at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The Jamaican sprinter has been in blistering form this season, setting the world-leading time in the 200m and eclipsing Florence Griffith-Joyner's legendary world record by a mere 0.03 seconds.

Jackson's decision is a testament to her current strength in the 200m, where she has established herself as the dominant force. Her decision also reflects her belief that she has the potential to chase Griffith-Joyner's elusive world record, which has stood for over 30 years. The Jamaican sprinter is confident that she can make history and become the fastest woman in the world over 200m.

"I believe that I can break the world record," Jackson said. "I'm in great shape, and I'm confident in my abilities. I'm going to give it my all in Paris, and I'm hoping to come away with the gold medal and the world record."

Jackson's focus on the 200m will undoubtedly be a boon for Jamaica's medal chances in Paris. With Jackson leading the charge, the Jamaican team will be a formidable force in the sprints and a strong contender for the overall track and field title.
