Commonwealth Games 2022 women’s 200m entry list; Christine Mboma among confirmed entrants

BIRMINGHAM, UK (July 27) — The following is the entry list for the women’s 200 meters at the Commonwealth Games 2022 in Birmingham, which will feature world champion Shericka Jackson, along with a number of talented young sprinters.

Jackson won the gold medal at the World Athletics Championships 2022 in Eugene, Oregon, last week with a blistering 21.45 seconds, and she will certainly start as the favorite to win the title inside the Alexander Stadium.

Fellow Jamaicans, Elaine Thompson-Herah, the Olympic sprint double champion in Rio 2016 and Tokyo in 2021, and Natalliah Whyte are also named among the confirmed entrants. Read more: Christine Mboma returns to training, but will miss World Championships – says coach

Meanwhile, Olympic silver medalist Christine Mboma of Namibia is also on the entry list with a confirmed status to compete, but we will have to wait to see if the talented teenager has fully recovered from tearing a thigh muscle in a race on May 7.

Before picking up the injury in a 100m in Nairobi, Kenya, Mboma, which missed the World Athletics Championships 2022, had a season-best of 21.87 seconds and had been running extremely well in both the 100m and 200m events this season.

Another junior star on the entry list for the women’s 200m is Favour Ofili of Nigeria who owns a season and personal best time of 21.96 secs.

Tynia Gaither from the Bamahas, Joella Lloyd of Antigua and Barbuda, Great Britain’s Daryll Neita, Julien Alfred of Saint Lucia, and Gambia’s Gina Bass are also confirmed to race in the event.
