Earlier this week, Skylar Diggins-Smith traveled to Barbados to celebrate the launch of Rihanna’s Fenty x Puma collection. While at the event, she connected with fellow female athletes, including Jamaican track and field star Shericka Jackson, the second-fastest woman in history in the 200-meter race.

“No matter the sport, these ladies can ball!”

Diggins-Smith reposted the image with a caption of her own, writing:

“Me with a GOAT!”

Jackson has cemented herself in history as the first athlete to win World Championship medals in the 100, 200, and 400 meters, including the 4x100 and 4x400-meter relays. She is just one of two athletes to win medals in all five of these events at either the World Championships or the Olympic Games.

Alongside Diggins-Smith and Jackson, the Fenty x Puma event was attended by several other notable figures, including Charokee Young, Serena Page, Kordell Beckham, Achieng Agutu, Isan Elba, Avani, Rickey Thompson, Jaida Buni and Nate White.
