A tough blow for the Jamaican delegation. Shericka Jackson, bronze medalist at the Tokyo Games in the 100m and twice world vice-champion in the distance, will not be able to compete in the premier distance at the 2024 Olympics. The sprinter announced her withdrawal on Wednesday, July 31, while the 100m heats are due to start on Friday, August 2. Shericka Jackson suffered a stubborn cramp a few days before the opening of the Paris Games. However, she intends to compete in the 200m, her favorite distance where she is a double world champion and holder of the second best performance in history (21”45).
