Shericka Jackson stormed to victory in the women’s 200m at the Diamond League final in Zurich, Switzerland on Thursday.
The Jamaican proved a cut above the field to win the season-ending event in 21.80 seconds to walk away with the Diamond trophy and US$30,000.
Americans Gabrielle Thomas (22.38) and Tamara Clark (22.42) finished second and third, respectively.
Jackson ends the season as the world leader with 21.45 seconds – the second-fastest time in history. The blistering 21.45 came at the World Athletics Championships in Oregon on July 21 where she won the gold medal.
Earlier, Jackson had to settle for second in the 100m won by her Jamaican teammate Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce in a blistering 10.65 seconds.
