Sha'Carri Richardson won the 100-meter title at the world championships, but it had not set in until she saw the scoreboard, with a championship-record 10.65 seconds next to her name.
Sha’Carri Richardson wins the women’s 100-meter national title with a time of 10.82 seconds to earn a berth on her first world championships team.In 2023, competing in her first world championships, she earned the title as Fastest Woman In The World. The victory delivered on her obvious potential that had been held back, she said in May in Los Angeles, often by her own doing — she has described the difficulty of often finding herself in a media spotlight.
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, 36, entered the final as a sprinting legend. She earned bronze, in 10.77 seconds. Her Jamaican teammate, Shericka Jackson, was the favorite, but settled for silver, in 10.72. For her second consecutive race of the day, Richardson overcame a slow start to storm to the finish and bring to a close one of the most anticipated finals of the entire championships. Fraser-Pryce entered having won the two world championships in 2019 and 2022 and as a five-time world champion at 100 meters — a feat made more striking given no other woman in history had won more than two.
