Jackson posted 10.70 seconds to win the 100 metres on Saturday, she returned the following day to clock a meeting record of 21.57 seconds to win the 200 metres.

The back-to-back 200 metres World champion, says winning both Diamond races was one of her goals from 2022.

Jackson says she’s not dissapointed that she didn’t break the Florence Griffith-Joyner’s 35-year-old 200 metres world record of 21.34 seconds.
