Budapest, Aug 22 (Ians) Debutant Sha’Carri Richardson outshone several renowned sprinters to clinch the top spot in the women’s 100m race at the World Championships on Monday.
The 23-year-old American, beginning inconspicuously from the ninth lane, surged impressively, clocking a new tournament record of 10.65 seconds, Xinhua reports.
In a riveting face-off at center stage, Jamaican veterans Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Shericka Jackson vied for dominance. Fraser-Pryce’s season-best of 10.77 seconds fell short against Jackson’s 10.72 seconds. The pair could only observe as an elated Richardson jubilantly celebrated on the track.
“I’m here. I’m the champion. I told you all. I’m not back, I’m better,” expressed Richardson, who had missed the Tokyo Olympic Games due to a suspension for cannabis use and failed to qualify for the previous year’s World Championships because of subpar performance.
Holding five world champion titles in the event, Fraser-Pryce divulged her intent to forgo the 200m race.
