World's fastest woman alive in the 200m event Shericka Jackson is scheduled to compete against a respectable field at the Rabat Diamond League.
World champion Shericka Jackson will be making her 200m season's debut at the Rabat Diamond League on May 19th against a respectable field, officially kicking off her Olympic year.
The Jamaican track star's only race this season was at the JAAA All-Comers meet in Jamaica, where she conveniently won the women's 100m event in a brilliant 11.03s.
This time, she will be aiming to begin her Diamond League 200m title defence against a field that includes former world 60m champion Mujinga Kambundji, Ivorian upcoming star Maboundou Kone, Swiss star Ida Karstoft, homegirl Sara El Hachimi, Italian Dalia Kaddari, and USA's Caisja Chandler.

LA Grand Prix: Rhasidat Adeleke faces tough 200m test against Sydney MacLaughlin-Levrone and Gabby Thomas
The trio of Rhasidat Adeleke, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, and Gabby Thomas will face off at the LA Grand Prix.
Jackson is the favourite to win the race, but her debut time in the event will be the attention of every track fan as it'll be a vital factor in determining the form she's currently in ahead of Paris.
Having withdrawn from a number of meets already, Jackson will be the first of the Big 3 to compete outside of Jamaica this year, and considering how important the season is, she'll be looking forward to dropping a fast time as a warning bell to her rivals.
