Shericka Jackson Withdraws from 100m at Paris Olympics

Jamaican sprinter Shericka Jackson has withdrawn from the 100m event at the Paris Olympics, focusing solely on the 200m race. Team manager Ludlow Watts confirmed that Shashalee Forbes will replace Jackson in the 100m, but did not provide a specific reason for the withdrawal. Jackson had clocked a personal best of 10.84 seconds at the Jamaican trials, making her a top contender for the event. Her decision follows a calf cramp during a meet in Hungary earlier this month. Fans expressed disappointment, particularly those anticipating a showdown between Jackson and American sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson, who is now favored for the 100m gold. Jackson will now aim for success in the 200m, where she has shown strong recent performances.
