The curve of Hayward Field becomes magical and where Noah Lyles, an American, stays 12 hundredths of the world record held by Usain Bolt, a Jamaican, another Jamaican, Shericka Jackson, runs only 11 behind another impossible record, that of the late American Florence Griffith-Joyner, the most difficult yet because it has been in force for 34 years. Until this World Athletics Championship, no one had come as close as her, 11.04s in her first hectometer; 10.42s the fastball thrown; 21.45s total.
Jackson’s story is actually more like that of Fred Kerley, the 100m winner who fails to reach the final of the teeth, still sore. Like him, three years ago he stood on the 400-meter podium at the Doha World Cup, in third place, the one he had already occupied in Beijing 2015 and Rio 2016, always under 50 seconds around the track , but the pandemic and its hiatus have made it shorten the goal.

The bet has turned out perfect for the powerful 28-year-old sprinter from Santa Ana Bay: Eugene adds silver in the 100m, gold in the 200m to the Olympic bronze in Tokyo, where her dominance begins to be incontestable and his versatility can allow him to run the two relays this weekend as he did in Tokyogold in the short and bronze in the long.
Jackson switches roles as Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, the pocket rocket who won the 100m, and he knows that his exit is explosive. “I knew it was going to be hard, she’s one of the best corner runners in the world, so she had to start really strong,” admits Jackson, and his forecast is right, because at the entrance of the straight, SAFP is going one hundredths in front of.
The straight puts each one in their place, the progression and resistance of the four-centista winner becomes implacable and ends up taking almost four tenths of the others, but it does not detract from the insatiable spirit of Fraser-Pryce. At 35 years old and following becoming a mother, she returns to a universal podium in the 200 meters (silver with 21.81s) for the first time since 2013 and already accumulates 13 medals in the history of the World Cups in the absence of the relayperhaps chasing Allyson Felix’s record of 19.
Before two such beasts, the British Dina Asher-Smith, who won Doha two years ago, can only be happy with her bronze medal (22.02s) on a podium that is very far from the triple Olympic champion in Tokyo (and double of the test) Elaine Thompson-Herah, who is definitely not the one from last year and arrives 7th with 22.39s. they have won the Americans, who for the first time in the history of the world championships will not climb to any podium in 100, 200 or 400mfinal this last one that has not yet been disputed but to which they have not even reached.
