Shericka Jackson reveals next move following dominant win at Stockholm Diamond League
World 200m champion Shericka Jackson has disclosed her next move after bouncing back from the Oslo disappointment with a win at the Stockholm Diamond League.
This victory was particularly encouraging as it came just days after a disappointing fifth-place finish at the Oslo Diamond League on May 30. Prior to Stockholm, Jackson had also secured a win at the Marrakech Diamond League on May 19, clocking in at 22.82 seconds.
However, these times are still shy of her career best of 21.41 seconds, which she set to claim the world title last August in Budapest.

American sprint legend salutes Oblique Seville for silencing Noah Lyles at Racers Grand Prix
A former Olympic champion has lauded Jamaican wunderkind for silencing Noah Lyles at the Racers Grand Prix but warned him to be on the lookout because Lyles will certainly be back for revenge.
Gatlin believes that both Thompson-Herah and Fraser-Pryce will play a pivotal role in Jackson's journey. On his Ready Set Go podcast, Gatlin shared:
“She is the next one to pass on the torch when it comes to Jamaican sprinting dominance. Shelly-Anne is in her last year, and it is most likely Elaine’s last Olympics, so Shericka is next up to the plate and she has already done amazing things.

Usain Bolt reveals the quality he respects the most about Noah Lyles
Jamaican legend Usain Bolt has revealed one of the best qualities he loves about Noah Lyles that makes him a great sprinter.
"I think listening to her counterparts when it comes to Shelly-Anne, who is one of her good friends, and possibly Elaine as well, they will speak their life into her, and they will let her know it's a pride thing. Jamaica has a lot of pride in their athletes.
"They are not going to let her falter. They will be like ‘Girl, you are the next up. What you gonna do?’ Let Shericka be and she will show up when it is time to show up.”
With the mentorship and support of Elaine Thompson-Herah and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Shericka Jackson is poised to overcome her early season woes and shine at the Paris Olympic Games.
The blend of their experience, competitive spirit, and the deep-seated pride in Jamaican sprinting will undoubtedly be a significant factor in her journey to success.
