'I never grew up with a lot of love' – Shericka Jackson opens up about childhood struggles and how they shaped her aggression
Shericka Jackson revealed her childhood struggles, including emotional walls built from instability, shaping her aggressive nature on and off the track.
Reflecting on her performance at the Paris Olympics, Hall’s journey has been both triumphant and challenging.
Despite winning the 800m event in the heptathlon, her total score of 6615 points placed her fifth overall, narrowly missing out on a medal.
The bronze medalist, Belgium’s Noor Vidts, outscored her by just 92 points with a total of 6707.
“I don't think so. I think it's pretty fresh, but I'm just trying to work through it in my head the best that I can, kind of torn between my own disappointment from not meeting my own expectations, but still trying to be proud of the year that we had and the work that we put in to get here," Hall stated.
After breaking her leg during the hurdles event at the US Olympic trials in 2021, she was unable to compete in the Tokyo Olympics.
To prevent further injuries, she underwent knee surgery in early 2024, which added another layer of complexity to her road to Paris.
Despite these setbacks she made an impressive comeback cementing her place as one of the world’s top athletes.
