Jamaica has assembled a formidable team for the World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Oregon with high expectations to collect a number of medals, especially in the sprints.
 
Led by the awesome trio, who swept the 100-metre podium at the Tokyo2020 Olympics, Elaine Thompson-Herah, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Shericka Jackson, the country is looking to concretize its reputation as a sprint powerhouse.

Looking at the women’s 100-metre, arguably one of the marquee events, Jamaica is expected to bring out the big broom and sweep away the competition, which by no means is not world-class. The three women are in great shape and the relevant question posed by everyone is in what order they are going to finish.
 
The women’s 200m could be a little bit more competitive with strong contenders from the United States, Britain and Nigeria. Notwithstanding, based on the strength of her jaw-dropping 21.55-second run at the Jamaica National Senior Championships, Shericka Jackson will line up as one of the gold medal favourites.
 

 
Olympic champion Hansle Parchment will spearhead the charge in the men’s 110m hurdles with the talented Rasheed Broadbell, who has recovered from the injury that hindered his progress last year.
 
In the women’s equivalent, World U20 record-holder Britany Anderson will lead a three-prong attack, which includes Olympic bronze medallist Megan Tapper and 2015 World Champion Danielle Williams.

The resurgent Yohan Blake and the promising Oblique Seville will be seeking to cause shock waves and tear up the script in the men’s 100m.
 
Traditionally, the country has done well in the relays and that trend is likely to continue at these championships. If things go according to plan, Jamaica could amass anywhere between 10-12 medals.
