World 200m champion Shericka Jackson bounced back to form and winning ways after blazing to a new Season's Best (SB) time of 22.69s at the Stockholm Diamond League.

Jackson's victory is an inspired performance off her poor showing at the Oslo Diamond League, where she finished a disappointing fifth in 22.97s. Brittany Brown blazed back to recognition with a blistering run from lane 8 to claim a memorable win in 22.32s (-0.2) ahead of Marie Josee Ta Lou-Smith in 22.35s, while Daryll Neita was third in 22.50s.

With her improved outing in Stockholm, Jackson will be gunning to perfect her form in time as she aims for a first Olympic 200m title in Paris
