World champion Shericka Jackson extended her unbeaten streak in the 200m this season with another convincing win at the Zurich Diamond League.
The Jamaican powerhouse speedster blazed to the finish line in an effortless sub-22s of 21.82s as Daryll Neita settled for second in 22.25s and Kayla White was third in 22.33s.

Jackson's victory further demonstrated that she's the best female sprinter in the event in the past two years, having won the world title in Budapest in a jaw-dropping Championship Record of 21.41s (the second-fastest time in history behind the World Record).

It lowered her previous CR of 21.45s clocked at the World Championships in Oregon last year and secured her as a two-time world champion.
The former quarter-miler turned short sprinter is surely the favourite to break the women's 200m WR, and with her consistency and dominance, it's only a matter of time before it becomes a reality.
