A huge contingent of Jamaican athletes landed in Paris, France last week Friday but Shericka Jackson was a no show.

Olympic legend worried about Shericka Jackson as competition day at Paris Olympics fast approaches
The retired sprinter has raised eyebrows about Shericka Jackson's depth of injury following her silence as the Paris Olympic Games loom.
The Jamaican top athletes including Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Oblique Seville and Kishane Thompson had already started training in preparation for the Olympics and were also doing media interviews.
However, fans can now sigh in relief as the two-time world 100m silver medallist has been spotted at the athletes’ village in Paris.
The photo shared by Jamaica Observer shows Jackson wearing black sunnies with jeans shorts and a sleeveless top. Her hair is also nicely done and tied.
“SPOTTED! #TeamJamaica's Shericka Jackson, the reigning queen of the 200m, was seen in the Athletes Village earlier today. Watch out for her as she gears up to light up the track!” the caption read.
Jackson has had quite a slow start to her season, and her last meet, Gyulai István Memorial, ended in a disaster with her pulling up an injury a few meters to the finish line of the race.
Jackson opened her season later than usual, racing at the JAAA All Comers Series #1 where she won the women’s 100m. The Jamaican sprint queen then won the Diamond League Meeting in Rabat before finishing fifth at the Diamond League in Oslo.
