Jackson ‘physically well’ to face rivals in Lausanne 200m

Two-time World 200 metres champion Shericka Jackson has declared herself “physically well” as she prepares for her first race since the death of long-time coach Stephen Francis.

After a four-week break, the Wanda Diamond League resumes today with its 12th leg in Lausanne, Switzerland, where seven Jamaicans will feature. Triple jumper Jordan Scott and 400m hurdler Rushell Clayton have already secured places in next month’s grand finals in Brussels, Belgium.

Jackson, who won earlier series races in Shanghai (22.07) and Xiamen (season’s best 21.87), could seal her spot with another victory today.
