Led by Shericka Jackson, the women’s 100m should be one of the races of the night at the season-opening 2023 Diamond League Doha track and field athletics meeting. Competition is set for Friday (5 May).
Jackson, the reigning world 200m champion, headlines the field in Qatar, in the absence of fellow Jamaicans Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce and Elaine Thompson Herah.
Otherwise, it's a line-up full of talent including 2019 world champion at 200m Dina Asher-Smith of Great Britain, and American star Sha’Carri Richardson.
Jackson arrives in Qatar with a world lead of 10.82 seconds from her opening race in a meet in Kingston on 22 April, but Richardson clocked a wind-assisted 10.57 in Miramar two weeks previously.
“After starting my season with a few 400m races, I’m excited to drop down in distance to race over 100m in Doha. I know I’m in good shape after running my quickest 400m since 2019 this year, but now it’s time to sharpen up and run really fast," Jackson told the organisers.
Besides the two world gold medallists and USA's Richardson, three members of the U.S. Team that topped the women’s 4x100m relay - Melissa Jefferson, Abby Steiner and Twanisha Terry - will also be on the starting line.
