What are we talking about?
of Jamaica Shericka Jackson made a dazzling run in the women’s 200m final. He won with the second fastest time of all time, 21.41, which is also a new race record.
What made the top bet even more incredible was that the winner was superior by as much as 40 hundredths ahead of the USA Gabby Thomas. In the women’s 100 meters, she also won the USA with a race record of 10.65 Sha’Carri Richardson set his 200m record, but still missed Jackson’s time by 51 hundredths!
The women’s 200m ME is by Florence Griffith-Joyner 35 years old 21.34. It has been considered eternal.
Jackson’s top bet with an overwhelming margin of victory is with a blood clot in his leg by Ryan Crouser along with one of the toughest individual performances of the Games. Crouser was only five centimeters away from his ME reading of 23.56 in the shot put final.
– Of course, he was the early favorite, like the winner of the men’s 200 meters By Noah Lyles. However, the time was really a surprise. by Florence Griffith-Joyner let’s talk in times that no one breaks. Even in that sense, this was extremely hard.
Jackson’s 200m World Championship gold was the second in a row. Before Jackson, the Jamaican female sprinters have gotten the most exposure Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce mixed Elaine Thompson-Herah.
Among them, Thompson-Herah is known as a fierce 200 meter runner, who two years ago at the Olympics clocked the then second time of 21.53.
Jackson’s development in recent years has been astounding. He broke the 22-second mark for the first time in his career only two years ago with a time of 21.81. Since then, another four tenths have fallen off the time. Until a few years ago, Jackson considered the 400 meters his main distance.
– More these others have been in the spotlight. There was a huge improvement during the Corona period. These others have moved at that level before. However, this is not about any super young athlete, because he is almost 30 years old (29).
Jackson himself believes in breaking the legendary 200m ME one day.
– Absolutely. Everything is possible. I put no limits on what I can achieve. My coach and I are still focusing on the details. Now I’m focusing on the World Championships because they’re not over yet, Jackson said, referring to the 4 x 100m relay.
Who surprised?
She is the second Finnish woman ever to reach the final of the World Cup in height Ella Junnila is a potential surprise name. However, Ingberg wants to shine Eveliina from Määtäwhose entire season has been great.
Määttänen ran his record 1:59.81 in the semi-finals of the 800 meters and was a wonderful 11th in the combined times. Sara Lappalainen SE was just 0.40 seconds behind.
– Eveliina’s run was really open-minded and smart, Ingberg enthuses.
Määttänen has pressed under the hard limit of two minutes no less than three times this summer. The 800 meter competitor has improved a lot on the tactical side for only the second year.
– If you think more broadly about the whole season, only the individual runs have not gone well. He made two really tactically smart runs in the World Cup. It requires a cool head and tactical skills. He has developed immensely in that.
Who flopped?
The Finns entered the men’s javelin qualification with high expectations. Toni Kuusela talked about qualifying the day before, even about a medal.
The end result was Kuuselan and generally great in value competitions Lassi Etelätalo relegation. He will be responsible for Finnish javelin skills in the World Cup finals on Sunday Oliver Helander. Also, his elimination was not far away.
– It would have been a different story if 82 meters had been required, which has sometimes been required. Now, just starting with kasi would have been enough.
– The technical volatility was striking. When I saw Kuusela’s first throw, I thought this has potential. After that, however, it got completely messed up.
Last year’s EC bronze medalist Etelätalo has a difficult season behind them.
– The level was not insurmountable. In my opinion, we should demand enough from the spearmen to start with kasilla?
What next?
On the penultimate day of the World Championships, the spotlight is on the best and most superior all-around athlete in the world at the moment, the pole vaulter by Armand Duplantis.
Last year, the multiple world record holder topped the WC gold with a ME jump 621. He improved that last winter.
However, Duplantis has shown human traits this year. In July, he finished fourth in the Monaco Diamond League with a modest score of 572.
Duplantis has said that he suffers from leg problems and has been to a chiropractor because of them. However, he didn’t have a bad day in qualifying.
– Since 2021, Mondo has won everything that can be won. However, the race in Monaco leaves some question marks. However, we know that when Mondo lights up, the bar will hit the ME readings, Ingberg reminds.
Ingberg thinks that it will be difficult to name a clear challenger for Duplantis, if the Swedish jumper falters for some reason. Missing from the World Cup finals are, for example, KC Lightfoot of the USA, who bent 607 this season, and KC Lightfoot, who exceeded six meters in the hall Sondre Guttormsen.
One potential name was in the World Cup medals last year Ernest John Obiena. He has jumped six meters this summer and beat Duplantis last year
– I see that there could be new names for the general public, Ingberg believes.
