World Athletics Championships: Shericka Jackson wins 200m gold with Dina Asher-Smith third

Dina Asher-Smith returned to the major championship podium for the first time in a year after winning a bronze medal in the 200m.

Shericka Jackson of Jamaica won the gold medal in the 200 meters in 21.45 seconds, only 0.10 seconds off the world record.

Fraser-Pryce was second in 21.86 seconds.

The Olympics campaign of Asher- Smith was ruined by a injury.

Her grandmother died earlier this year.

Asher-Smith embraced her mother by the trackside after the finish.

She said that she doesn't think we have ever been in a World final with that kind of talent.

I knew I had to run as fast as my legs would carry me and hope it would be enough to get on the podium," he said.

In an era where everyone is running so fast, I'm very happy to make the podium.

She said that the death of her grandmother had knocked her off her feet.

She was a big part of my family and had been sick for a while. I used to stay at her house as a kid.

For a long time athletics was at the forefront of my mind.

It has been difficult to get through this season.

Jackson failed to make the 200m semi-finals at the Tokyo Olympics after easing up too early in her heat.

He is the fastest in the world this year and qualified fastest for the final.

She came off the turn behind Fraser-Pryce, but the former 400m specialist had the speed to reel in her.

Jackson succeeds Asher-Smith as world champion, but the Briton's win against a weaker field was the main reason for his victory.

Three years ago, Brittany Brown's silver medal winning time would not have been good enough to get her into the final.

Among those left in her wake were Olympic champion Elaine Thompson-Herah and the US collegiate champion.

Hodgkinson makes way into 800m semis

Athing Mu, the fastest woman in the world this year, will face off against British Olympic silver medal winner Keely Hodgkinson in the 800m final.

After a fall in the pack on the final lap, Hodgkinson avoided a pile-up by being at the front of the field.

Hodgkinson said that his body is in one piece. I got my ankle clipped a few times, but I am thankful to come through.

She qualified for the semi-finals despite being hampered by glandular fever. She finished second in the heat with a time of 1:59.09, her second-fastest time of the year.

The next round of the tournament begins on Saturday.

The men's 800m final was missed by Kyle and Daniel. Max Burgin, the fastest man in the world this year, withdrew from the event due to a calf injury.
