Diamond League: Shericka Jackson smashes meeting record to win 200m in Xiamen

Advertisements

Two-time 200m world champion Shericka Jackson produced a dominant display to win the 200m Diamond League event in Xiamen.

Jackson smashed the meeting record and narrowly missed out on the world lead by 0.01 seconds, finishing with a time of 21.87 seconds to claim the victory.

The Jamaican led from the off and showed her strength on the bend to pull away.

Shaunae Miller-Uibo (22.04) and Anavia Battle (22.29) both produced season’s bests to claim second and third respectively but neither looked like troubling Jackson.

The 2023 world 100m champion, Sha’Carri Richardson, also produced a season’s best, crossing the line in fourth with a time of 22.38 seconds.

Amy Hunt, Great Britain’s 200m world silver medallist, finished seventh in the field of nine.

Elsewhere on Saturday in Xiamen, 18-year-old Chinese athlete Yan Ziyi threw the second furthest distance of all time in the women’s javelin event.

At the age of 17, Yan landed the world junior record and now breaks the Diamond League record, the Asian record and the world under-20 record with one fantastic throw.
