LRC note. Posters have pointed out the article is incorrect. The race is outdoors. There are no indoor tracks in Jamaica.
Shericka Jackson to open indoor season with 60m in Jamaica this weekend. They have indoor tracks in Jamaica?

Damn it Rojo, it rains in Jamaica! Why the hell do you think they have indoor tracks? It’s near the ocean.

Is the legal wind limit for an outdoor 60m the same as for an outdoor 100m or 200m (2.0 m/s)?

So their athletes do not have to fly to the US to practice running indoor events before they compete on the winter indoor circuit. If you haven't noticed by now, Jamaica is a bit of a powerhouse when it comes to the sprints.

with the new "short track" rule change this year, i think Jackson's time would theoretically count as a World Indoor Record if she ran under 6.92 as long as wind is legal, no? on the world athletics website, they have stopped counting 60m indoor and outdoor marks as separate and list them both under "short track" now. Not saying she would do that in January, but somehing to note this season

Can someone explain this to me? Are there really indoor tracks in Jamaica? Or do they run a 60m in a gym or something? If there are indoor tracks, why?
LOL...

I guess that Jackson decided not to run. She is not in the results.
