The women’s 200m is entering a new era. Friday, in Eugene, Shericka Jackson was adorned with gold in the final of the world championships, after a race that was close to perfection. The Jamaican offered herself her first world title by making an impression, since she signed the second best time in history in 21″45, and came closer than ever before to the historic record of Florence Griffith-Joyner ( 21″34).
Behind the Jamaican, her compatriot, ten-time world champion and titleholder in the 100m in Eugene, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce took second place (21″81) ahead of the Doha world champion DIna Asher-Smith (22″02 ).
