Sha’Carri Richardson won the 100 meters. In the semi-finals, he again ran a long time.
Sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson, 23, ran for the women’s 100-meter U.S. championships in Eugene.
Richardson ran to victory in 10.82.
He dazzled earlier this week in the preliminaries when he stopped the clocks with a time of 10.71, which was a season-best for a while. In the semifinals, Richardson also clocked a long time of 10.75 and showed that he is in good shape.
Before the start of the final run, Richardson took the orange wig off his head and threw it on the track. Beneath the wig, long pigtails were revealed, which were shaped into a star above her ear.
USA Today described Richardson taking off the wig “dramatically” and the audience being stunned by the gesture.
– I’m not back, I’m better. I am ready mentally, physically and emotionally. I’m here to stay, Richardson commented after his winning run to NBC.
It was the second of the hundred finals Brittany Brown, who ran a new record of 10.90. The third was Tamara Davis at 10.99.
Richardson missed the Tokyo Olympics two years ago due to a cannabis bug. He was removed from the American Airlines flight.
He has not won any medals in his career. At the American championships, places were allocated for the World Championships in Athletics in August. The competitions will be held in August in Budapest.
The men’s 100m champion was Cravont Charleston, who ran to victory in 9.95. He narrowly beat the runner-up by Christian Colemanwhose time was 9.96. Noah Lyles was third in 10.00.
