AFTER an impressive season opener in the 200 metres at last Saturday's Shanghai Diamond League, Jamaica’s Shericka Jackson is set for another big run in the half-lap event at the second leg of the Diamond League series in Xiamen, China tomorrow when she takes to the track at 6:44 a.m. Jamaica time.

Jackson, the two-time World  200m  champion, was an emphatic  winner after clocking 22.07 seconds, the joint fifth fastest time in the world this season and, based on that first-time 200m run in 2026, could go sub-22 seconds. One of nine Jamaicans down to compete tomorrow, she will once again line up against most of her rivals from last weekend, led by two-time Olympic 400m champion Shaunae Miller-Uibo of The Bahamas, who was second. Also in the line-up are Anavia Battle of the United States, who was third, World 200m silver medallist Amy Hunt of Great Britain, and 2023 World 100m champion Sha'Carri Richardson of the United States, who was fourth last week.

Like last Saturday, three Jamaicans, Megan Simmonds, Ackera Nugent and Danielle Williams, will compete in another stacked women’s 100m hurdles line-up, the final event at 7:52 a.m.  All three will be seeking redemption after sub-par performances last week. Simmonds was the best Jamaican with a fourth-place finish, while Nugent was sixth  and Williams failed to finish.
