  + stars: | 2023-11-16 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
Thompson-Herah's agency, Andi Sports Management, said the split was a result of a "breakdown in negotiations on a compensation package" sought by Osbourne. "Collectively, we had no choice but to seek the services of another coach. The agency said the process of finding the Jamaican sprinter a new coach had begun. "With the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France fast approaching, Mrs Thompson-Herah is fully focused on her preparations for the season and the defense of her Olympic titles," it said. Thompson-Herah, 31, became the first woman to win back-to-back Olympic sprint doubles when she retained her 100m and 200m titles in Tokyo in 2021.

Sept 17 (Reuters) - Gudaf Tsegay smashed the women's 5,000 metres world record and Armand Duplantis raised the bar again for the men's pole vault on Sunday, as the season-ending Eugene Diamond League meet concluded on a high. Shericka Jackson came off the turn with a massive lead to retain her women's 200 metres Diamond League championship title in 21.57, but came short of her goal to break Florence Griffith-Joyner's world record. The Jamaican Jackson won the 100 metres Diamond League championship a day earlier and finished more than half a second ahead of Ivorian Marie-Josee Ta Lou on Sunday, as Anthonique Strachan of the Bahamas took third in 22.16. The Canadian Arop finished five hundredths of a second slower and Algerian Djamel Sedjati took third in 1:43.06. Dutch World Champion Femke Bol collected her third Diamond League championship with a confident 51.98 performance in the 400 metres hurdles, as American Shamier Little took second in 53.45 and Jamaican Rushell Clayton finished third in 53.56.

Jackson, second in the 100m final, ran a brilliant bend, was two metres clear coming into the home straight and tore to the finish to win by a street. It also edged her closer to the late Florence Griffith-Joyner’s 21.34 world record from the 1988 Olympics. I will continue to work and I hope I can maintain at least this level and we will see if the world record will come. As for the world record - I'm close, I'm close, I'm getting there." When asked if she considered herself the "real" record holder, she said: "I won't question a world record.

  + stars: | 2023-07-09 | by ( George Ramsay | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +1 min
CNN —Shericka Jackson produced a stunning performance at the Jamaican championships on Saturday as she ran a world-leading 10.65 seconds in the 100 meters. The blazing time put Jackson joint-fifth on the all-time list, 0.16 seconds off Florence Griffith-Joyner’s 35-year-old world record. It also saw her surpass American Sha’Carri Richardson, who won the US 100-meter title on Friday, for the fastest women’s 100-meter time this year. Jackson, a five-time Olympic medalist and the defending 200-meter world champion, finished comfortably ahead of Shashalee Forbes (10.96 seconds) and Natasha Morrison (10.98 seconds) in Kingston. The same applies for Jackson in the 200 meters after her victory in Eugene, Oregon, last year.
