World 200m Champion Shericka Jackson Injured in Hungarian Grand Prix

Shericka Jackson, the world 200m champion and Olympic favorite from Jamaica, suffered an injury during the women's 200m event at the Gyulai Istvan Memorial Track and Field Hungarian Grand Prix. The injury, initially feared to be significant, was later clarified by her physiotherapist as a hamstring cramp, providing relief to Team Jamaica. With the Paris 2024 Olympics approaching, Jackson's presence is crucial for Jamaica after Elaine Thompson-Herah's withdrawal due to an Achilles tendon tear. Jackson, known for her exceptional speed and record-breaking performances, is expected to challenge the 100m event against American rival Sha'Carri Richardson.
