Exuberant Australian teenager slams the gauntlet at bigwigs after trouncing Sha'Carri Richardson in Xiamen
Shericka Jackson, Sha'Carri Richardson, and co. should work extra hard following revelations from the 19-year-old Australian who shocked the sprinting world by beating Sha'Carri Richardson at the Diamond League Meeting in Xiamen.
Speaking of the world record, Jackson noted that it is not something that’s on their minds fully but when the time is ideal, she will go for it.
Her Personal Best time over the distance currently stands at 21.41 and the world record time was set by Florence Griffith-Joyner of the United States, who ran 21.34 seconds at the 1988 Summer Olympics.
“I’m pretty close to the world record and a good climate would have gotten me there last year in Budapest, but as I said, we are close and it’s not something that coach and I will get on our minds all the time and focus on in every race.

“Missing it is not the end of the world and right now, we are just focusing on the tiny bits of my training. It will mean a lot for me to break the record but it’s one step at a time,” Jackson added.
