Sha'Carri Richardson is again one of the fastest women in the world. At the prestigious Doha Diamond League on Friday, Richardson ran the 100m in 10.76 seconds, the fastest time in the world this year. She won first place, marking the biggest international win of her career thus far.
included four American women, including Melissa Jefferson, the 2022 U.S. champion in the 100m, who finished 7th. Coming in behind Richardson was Shericka Jackson of Jamaica, and taking third was Britain's Dina Asher-Smith. Both Jackson and Asher-Smith are recent 200m world champions.
Richardson was expected to make a major impact at the Tokyo Summer Olympics in 2021 after qualifying for the 100m. However, less than a month before the Games were to begin, she was deemed ineligible after testing positive for marijuana. She accepted a one-month suspension after completing a counseling program and did not compete in Tokyo."I'm not back. I'm better."
Sha'Carri Richardson is the only U.S. woman to break 10.80 seconds since the start of 2017, and she has now done it five times. That's one more than Flo-Jo had in her career and tied for second-most in U.S. history behind Marion Jones' 13 times that haven't been stripped.
