200m world champion Shericka Jackson withdrew from the women's 200m event at the Paris Olympics due to a leg injury.
200m world champion Shericka Jackson withdrew from the women's 200 metres event at the Paris Olympics, meaning she will not compete for an individual medal. The defending world champion, who is the second-fastest woman in the 200 metres of all time, had previously withdrawn from the 100 metres due to a leg injury. American sprinter Gabby Thomas is now the favourite to win the 200 metres, after both she and Julien Alfred advanced to the final with strong performances. Jackson's exit marks another setback for Jamaica, a traditional Olympic powerhouse in the 100 and 200m events.
