“I feel good,” Jackson said with a smile, referring to the monumental achievement.

“I saw a video where I expressed what I wanted to achieve, and just to see it, seeing that I'm achieving all of those one step at a time, I’m actually feeling really good.”

Shericka Jackson’s journey in the 200m has been one of remarkable progression, evolving from a 400m specialist to one of the fastest women in history over the half-lap distance.

Her time of 21.41 seconds, recorded at the 2023 World Championships in Budapest, was not only a championship record but also a clear message that Flo Jo's long-standing world record of 21.34 seconds is not unreachable.

Despite the immense pressure that comes with being compared to icons of the sport, Jackson remains grounded.

Her focus is not solely on chasing records, but on enjoying the process, improving with each race, and staying consistent in her performances.

As the world turns its gaze to the upcoming Tokyo 2025 World Championhips, Jackson will be one of the key athletes to watch.

With a gold medal already in her collection, fans and analysts alike are optimistic that she may challenge the world record in the right conditions.

“I’m achieving everything I set out to do. Step by step,” she reaffirmed.

For Shericka Jackson, it is about legacy, longevity, and the quiet confidence of a woman who knows exactly where she’s headed.
