“Expect Greater” – Jamaican Jackson narrowly misses world record

Sprinter Shericka Jackson set the third-fastest time in history in the 200m at the Jamaican Track and Field Trials in Kingston on Sunday. The 27-year-old won in 21.55 seconds ahead of Olympic champions Elaine Thompson-Herah (22.05) and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce (22.14). Only the late US-American Florence Griffith Joyner, who set the still valid world record of 21.34 seconds in 1988, and Thompson-Herah (21.53) were faster.
