Diamond League: Shericka Jackson smashes meeting record to win 200m in Xiamen
Shericka Jackson won the opening meeting at the Shanghai/Keqiao Diamond League last week.
Two-time 200m world champion Shericka Jackson produced a dominant display to win the 200m Diamond League event in Xiamen.
Jackson smashed the meeting record and narrowly missed out on the world lead by 0.01 seconds, finishing with a time of 21.87 seconds to claim the victory.
The Jamaican led from the off and showed her strength on the bend to pull away.
Shaunae Miller-Uibo (22.04) and Anavia Battle (22.29) both produced season's bests to claim second and third respectively but neither looked like troubling Jackson.
The 2023 world 100m champion, Sha'Carri Richardson, also produced a season's best, crossing the line in fourth with a time of 22.38 seconds.

The very first meeting of the 2026 Diamond League season kicked off last Saturday in near-ish Shanghai, China, and at the end of the morning (assuming you were watching in the U.S.) there was plenty to talk about.
Masai Russell continued her red-hot start to the season, posting a world-leading 12.25 in the 100m hurdles. When you’re that fit, it doesn’t matter whether you’re hurdling in your own backyard of Lexington, Kentucky, or halfway around! The distance closes were all decided by tiny margins: Faith Kipyegon won the 5000m by 0.07 seconds, Mark English took the 800m by 0.04 seconds, and Peruth Chemutai persevered over World champ Faith Cherotich in the steeple by a mere 0.01 seconds. Chemutai’s win was no kicker’s race, either: she and Cherotich clocked the two fastest times ever recorded in May at 8:51.47 and 8:51.48. South Africa’s Gift Leotlela took down a strong field in the men’s 100m with a 9.97 win over the likes of Kenny Bednarek and Trayvon Bromell. And Mondo Duplantis (of course) recorded his 40th straight victory in the pole vault.

ON THE HUNT
Fresh off her win at last weekend’s opening Wanda Diamond League meet in Shanghai/Keqiao, two-time World Athletics Championships 200m gold medalist Shericka Jackson will be going after back-to-back wins.
Jackson, who clocked 22.07 seconds (0.3m/s) last week, is down to compete in the Diamond League meet at Egret stadium in Xiamen, also in China, this morning (Jamaica time).
She will be looking to avenge her loss to American Anavia Battle in Xiamen last season when she opened her Diamond League account.
Jackson, who battled injuries for the past two years, looked in great form last week after arriving in China two days prior. After a full week there, it is expected she will improve on her performance.
