The race was a bit slower than I expected, but coming out injury-free and with a win is what truly matters."

Jackson's poised response to the disrupted start exemplified her focus and unwavering determination. "I just keep repeating to myself what I need to do, which is to focus on the gun," she explained. Her victory in Budapest is still fresh, and while there hasn't been much downtime for celebrations, Jackson is already eyeing her next challenge.

"I haven't had much time to celebrate my big win in Budapest," she shared. "It will probably be the day after I finish my season. For now, my eyes are set on the next meet, and I'm hoping to celebrate post the Diamond League final in Eugene."

The athletics community, along with her countless fans, will be eagerly awaiting Jackson's next performance. Given her recent triumphs, expectations will undoubtedly be high, but if history has taught us anything, it's that Shericka Jackson thrives under pressure.
