#BudaQuest | Jackson dominates 200 final for back-to-back gold medals

From the moment the gun went off inside the National Athletics Centre, the World Athletics Championships 200-metre final was between Shericka Jackson and the clock.
Jackson would end in a World Championships record, 21.41 seconds, seven hundredth of a second outside of Florence Griffiths Joyner’s 35-year-old world record.
The United States’ Gabby Thomas was second to the new Jamaican national record, in 21.81, while teammate and 100-metre gold medallist, Sha’Carri Richardson, was third in a personal best 21.92.
