🗣️ "Coach and I have spoken and we are going after it this year. I hope to get it tomorrow. If I do, that would ease a little pressure for me going into Eugene...Tomorrow is supposed to be a good day."
🇯🇲 Shericka Jackson on FloJo's 200m world record of 21.34 at @MVDbrussels
The interview @sherickajacko told @LillzTIL after her Semi she would SPECIFICALLY come and give her.💫 Winners of the 100m & 200m have not been allowed to do mixed zone interviews. Like Sha'Carri & Fred, Shericka is overtly SUPPORTING her people.🙌🏾👑🇯🇲✨️
Shericka Jackson asked by @jgault13 what she was thinking of as she stared at the scoreboard, post-race, looking not-so impressed.
She reveals she'd written two times on her bib before the race - 21.40 was the slower of them.
This photo says A LOT! If youve followed Track & Field this season...you'll know theres about 6 side stories going on sounding these four women for different reasons. But when all is said & done...they ALL came out, put on a show, & gave their hearts!❤️🔥

“It seemed absolutely crazy. The idea that an Iowa housewife, equipped with the cutting-edge medical tool known as Google Images, would make a medical discovery about a pro athlete who sees doctors & athletic trainers as part of her job?”

An athlete I train @loralski is not funded by @BritAthletics because she isn’t “medal potential” anymore but won an indoor bronze in 2022 and was ranked 7th in the world. Won a diamond league. She won both indoor and outdoor national championships in 2022. I’m confused!
