World 200 metre champion Shericka Jackson gave the clearest indicator yet that she will be the one to beat in that event at the upcoming World Championships with a convincing victory at the Monaco Diamond League meet on Friday. Meanwhile, it was a dramatic maiden Diamond League appearance for teenage sensation Jaydon Hibbert. Jackson clocked 21.86 seconds to win the event ahead of St Lucia's Julien Alfred 22.08 and Great Britain's Diner Asher-Smith who posted a season's best 22.23. There was drama in the men's triple jump where teenage sensation Jaydon Hibbert just missed on winning the event in his maiden Diamond League appearance. The next Diamond League meet is on Sunday in London.
