Two-time world champion Shericka Jackson withdrew from heats for the Olympic 200m on Sunday in one other hammer blow for the Jamaican group. The withdrawal of Jackson, who had already pulled out of the 100m received by St Lucia’s Julien Alfred on Saturday, follows that of Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce from the blue riband occasion. Jackson’s non-appearance within the heats was solely evident by the late addition of “DNS” (Did Not Begin) alongside her identify on the official begin sheet.
The semi-finals are scheduled for 1845 GMT on Monday, with the ultimate listed for 1940 on Tuesday.
Jackson, 30, had described her choice to skip the 100m as a “good choice”.
“You must do the most effective in your physique and your thoughts and your soul. I am OK with the choice.”
Jackson’s teammate Elaine Thompson-Herah, lacking from Paris via harm, received each the 100m and 200m on the Tokyo Olympics.
