American sprinter Anavia Battle claimed third place in 22.29 seconds, while world champion Sha'Carri Richardson finished fourth in 22.38 seconds in a highly competitive field packed with global sprint stars.
The race further highlighted Jackson’s remarkable consistency in the 200m, an event where she has already cemented herself as one of the greatest athletes in history. The Jamaican star, who owns the second-fastest women’s 200m time ever with 21.41 seconds, appears to be building top form once again as the season gathers momentum.
