The women’s 200m entry list for the Commonwealth Games Birmingham 2022 is confirmed with Shericka Jackson, Christine Mboma and Elaine Thompson-Herah.

Jackson, just last week, was crowned world 200m champion. She ran a championship and Jamaica record 21.45 to beat fellow Jamaican Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, 21.81. Jackson was second and Thompson-Herah, third to Fraser-Pryce in the women’s 100m.

Thompson, the Olympic sprint double champion, won bronze in the Oregon22 World Athletics Championships women’s 100m. 

Mboma, who pulled up running against Fraser-Pryce at the Kip Keino Classic in Nairobi in May, missed the Oregon22 World Athletics Championships. She is on the confirmed 200m runners list for the Commonwealth Games.
