Athletics: Shericka Jackson (JAM) confirms she will not compete in the women’s 100m

Big, big news from athletics, as Shericka Jackson has just confirmed in a press conference that she will not participate in the 100m at Paris 2024. 

Jackson, who won bronze in this event at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and silver at the 2023 world championships, will be replaced by Shashalee Forbes, who finished fourth at the Jamaican trials.

We are still awaiting confirmation as to whether she’ll still race in the women’s 200m or be a part of Jamaica’s relay teams for the Games.
