Paris 2024: Favorite Sherica Jackson Drops Out of Women’s 100 Meters Sprint.

Jamaican sprinter Sherica Jackson has withdrawn from the 100m Olympic race, making it easier for others. With Jackson, a major competitor, out, Sha'Carri Richardson now faces less challenge in the event.

Sherica Jackson will now concentrate solely on the 200m, her favored distance, after withdrawing from the 100m. 

The preliminary rounds for the women's 100m are set for Friday at the Stade de France, where Jackson’s absence could shift the spotlight and competition dynamics.

Sherica Jackson, who had been dealing with a leg cramp and fitness issues during training in Hungary, has decided to focus on the 200m instead of the 100m. This shift comes just as the preliminary rounds for the women’s 100m are about to begin at the Stade de France.
