On a night of stunning athletics action midway through the four-day Jamaican Championships in Kingston on Friday (25), the most eventful moment came in the women’s 100m.
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, in her first appearance since her world-leading 10.63 three weeks ago, solidified her readiness for Tokyo with a commanding victory.
Fraser-Pryce, who finished second to main rival Elaine Thompson-Herah in the semifinals, took no prisoners in the final, winning by daylight in 10.71 (1.0m/s). Olympic 400m bronze medallist Shericka Jackson, who surprised many with her decision to step down in distance, finished with a flourish to snatch second in 10.82, 0.02 ahead of Thompson-Herah.
