Shericka Jackson’s coach Stephen Francis has blasted World Athletics for the poor organisation and chaos that plagued the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo.

Jamaica ended their campaign in 10th place, with 10 medals. Oblique Seville won the sole gold medal, with six silver and three bronze medals.
Stephen Francis revealed that from the time he arrived in Tokyo, Japan, he faced frustrations, from time management to accessing transport.

Melissa Jefferson-Wooden praised Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce's legacy, calling it surreal to share the stage with the sprint icon.
The veteran coach noted that he found it difficult to comprehend why World Athletics allowed top athletes to go through such struggles, noting that from the word go, the governing body should have analysed the situation further.
Stephen Francis Slams World Athletics for Poor Organisation of Global Championships

The Jamaican coach revealed that World Athletics placed some of the best athletes in the world in a position where they would have to navigate and survive, and perform at a high level.
Stephen Francis added that the World Athletics Championships needed better organisation, since athletes are used to a different system.
“You know you have to deal with an extra number of people and so on, but this one is really, really bad. But I do know everybody was at one hotel, and what that means is that transportation is a huge nightmare. You know, yesterday, for example, I had to wait almost an hour in line at the hotel trying to get a bus to the warm-up area,” Stephen Francis noted in an interview with Television Jamaica.

Mohammed Bajaber: Setback for Harambee Stars Forward as Simba Coach Makes Surprise Decision
Harambee Stars playmaker Mohammed Bajaber will have to work under a new coach following the abrupt departure of South African tactician Fadlu Davids.
“The distance from the stadium to the warm-up track. It was so bad that the athletes were not able to go back to the warm-up area after running the semi-finals of the hurdles or the short sprints. The Japanese hosts have tried to organise it as best as they can, given the situation, but I don't believe that this thing should have been approved by World Athletics.
“I mean, from the moment you got here, if you got here on a flight at 7:00, you had to wait until 3 or 4 p.m. to get out. No, it's those areas of the meet that are not befitting the top meet for the year for World Athletics.”
Stephen Francis stressed that while athletes gave their all on the track, the off-track challenges highlighted serious flaws in the organisation.
