Richardson Crowned New Women’s 100m World Champion

Sha’Carri Richardson took home victory in the new women’s 100m world champion.

Sha’Carri Richardson made up for missing the Tokyo Olympics due to a drug ban to sensationally win the women’s 100 metres world title in Budapest on Monday in a championship record of 10.65sec.

The 23-year-old American stormed home from lane nine to edge Jamaican duo Shericka Jackson, who ran 10.72sec, and five-time champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, who clocked 10.77sec.

“I’m back, I’m back!” she said once she got her breath back.

Richardson had barely made it into the final, only as one of the two fastest losers after a terrible start in her semi-final.

Richardson’s win is the first in the world 100m final for an American since the late Tori Bowie in London in 2017.

Congratulations on your incredible success! Enjoy the glory.
