While Jackson’s achievement rightfully claimed the spotlight, the competition for the remaining spots on the podium was equally captivating.
Representing the USA, Gabriella Thomas secured a commendable second-place finish with a time of 21.81 seconds.
Though she couldn’t catch up to Jackson’s electrifying pace, Thomas showcased her own mastery of the event, earning a well-deserved silver medal.
Undoubtedly, one of the most intriguing narratives of the final centered around Sha’Carri Richardson, the American sprinter who had previously triumphed over Jackson to secure the 100m World title.
