Ace Jamaican sprinter Shericka Jackson emerged victorious over compatriot Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce to win the women’s 100-metre final at the penultimate Wanda Diamond League meet in Brussels, Belgium on Friday (September 2).

Running out of lane three, Jackson stormed to a 10.73-second finish ahead of Fraser-Pryce (10.74s) and Ivorian Marie-Josée Ta Lou, who claimed third place (10.78s).

Jackson was just two-hundredths of a second behind the meet record set by Elaine Thompson-Herah nearly six years ago in the King Baudouin Stadium.

Americans Aleia Hobbs, Sha’Carri Richardson and Tamara Clarke finished fourth, fifth and sixth respectively.

On 27 points, Jackson is just behind Ta Lou for this season’s Diamond League title in the blue-ribbon 100m event, with the finals set for Weltklasse in Zurich, Switzerland next week.
