World champion Shericka Jackson disclosed that she has many trophies and her trophy cabinet can no longer take more.

Jamaica's track star Shericka Jackson has revealed she has won so many trophies in her career that her trophy stand can no longer take new ones.

The world champion made this known in a Q&A with her fans on her Instagram page, and one of the questions asked where she kept her two diamonds (Diamond League trophies) and if she has a trophy cabinet.

In response, she said: "Have one at home which is still in the box, someone has the other one. My trophy stand is full..."

Shericka Jackson won the 2023 Diamond League titles in the 100m and 200m

Jackson won the Diamond League titles in the 100m and 200m events this season - her first career sprints double.

The 29-year-old was one of the standout athletes this season with exceptional performances that saw her successfully defend her 200m world title, claim 100m silver medal, and anchored Jamaica's 4x100m relay team to another silver medal at the World Championships in Budapest.

Her 200m winning time of 21.41s makes her the fastest woman alive in the event, while she's also the joint world leader in the 100m with 10.65s this season.

These performances and those through the years of Jackson's professional career made her an icon in her country and seen her win many awards.
