Having gone back to the drawing board and worked on her weaknesses, it would be expected that Shericka Jackson would bounce back to winning ways but her state continues to worry fans.
However, this is just the beginning and it is normal for an athlete coming back from an injury setback to struggle a bit before bouncing back to winning ways.
Shericka Jackson faced a major setback in 2024, pulling up an injury at the Gyulai István Memorial, a Hungarian Athletics Grand Prix, and was forced to miss the remainder of the season, pulling out of the Paris Olympic Games.
She resumed competition in January after a long rehab and just like any other athlete, Shericka Jackson hopes to be ready just in time for the World Championships so she can make up for all the losses she encountered last season.
