Shericka Jackson, two-time 200m world champion (2022, 2023) and Paris 2024 silver medalist, is the clear favorite for the women's 200m final on Friday July 31 at Scotstoun Stadium. Main rival Dina Asher-Smith (England) withdrew to prioritize European Championships. Jackson returned from injury with strong form (21.87s, Diamond League Xiamen 2026, meeting record).
