Jamaican athlete Shericka Jackson recently opened up about her thought process heading into the Paris Olympics, where she revealed her intention of breaking the legendary track athlete Florence Griffith-Joyner's world record.

In a recent interview with Citius Mag, she spoke about featuring in her third Olympic Games.

"Yes, the world record is on our minds but it's not something we are going to dwell on Instagram every race," Shericka Jackson said. "Once I’m healthy and once I'm in peak form, anything is possible. I am the athlete and my coach will prepare me for the right time."
