She was just one hundredth of a second shy of the best performance in the world this year! Jamaican Shericka Jackson won the 200m at the MEETING de PARIS on Saturday at Charléty in a very good time of 20"05. The 23-year-old sprinter posted a personal best and finished way ahead of the American Jenna Prandini (2nd, 22"30).
The reigning world number two in the speciality, Marie-Josée Ta Lou from the Ivory Coast, rounded off the podium (3rd, 22"50), whilst French runner Brigitte Ntiamoah finished 8th in the race (23"48).
