Jamaican sprinter Shericka Jackson denied Sha’Carri Richardson the chance to double in the sprints at track and field’s world championships Friday, storming to gold in the 200 meters in 21.41 seconds, a time that set a record for the championship and is the second-fastest run in history, behind only Florence Griffith-Joyner.

Florence Griffith-Joyner’s record of 21.34 is nearly 35 years old and Jackson has now run in the 21.4s twice — this adding to the 21.45 she ran at last year’s worlds.

He said there was a time when he thought Bowie had so much talent, she could have ended up on a pedestal with all-time greats, including his sister, Joyner-Kersee, and his late wife, 100-meter world-record holder Florence Griffith-Joyner.

The women’s 100 record — a 35-year-old mark of 10.49 owned by the late Florence Griffith-Joyner — has been thought to be in jeopardy ever since Jamacia’s Elaine Thompson ran 10.54 in 2021, about two weeks after winning her second Olympic title.

Griffith-Joyner’s husband, coaching great Al Joyner, said he’s noticed sprinters studying Flo-Jo’s old videos, looking for clues.
