Jackson let off the gas a couple of steps before the finish line, her time of 21.41 improved her standing as #2 performer of all time, just .07 short of Florence Griffith-Joyner's 35 year old world record. Thomas followed 4 metres later, a step ahead of now double medalist at these championships, Richardson.
Jackson's 21.45 was the second fastest of all time, the Championship record, a .1 improvement over her Jamaican Championship time and only .11 shy of FloJo's enduring world record from 1988. Jackson also became the first person to win medals in all three sprinting events, a feat Fred Kerley was also attempting and failed to accomplish this year.
