Jackson Withdraws from 200m at Paris Olympics

Jamaican sprinter Shericka Jackson has withdrawn from the women's 200 meters at the Paris Summer Olympics, citing health concerns, particularly a hamstring injury that previously caused her to pull out from the 100 meters. Despite being a favorite and reigning world champion, Jackson's exit leaves the field open for competitors like Team USA’s Gabby Thomas and St. Lucia’s Julien Alfred. Jackson's absence is a significant blow to the Jamaican team, which has been a dominant force in Olympic sprinting. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, another Jamaican star, also withdrew from the 100 meters due to an undisclosed injury. Jackson remains eligible for the women's 4x100 relay, although her participation is still uncertain.
