Richardson is rapidly claiming a place at the World Championships in Budapest.
A sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson23, clocked 10.71 seconds in the 100 meters in the preliminaries of the U.S. championships in Eugene local time on Thursday.
The result is Richardson’s personal record and the top result in the world this season. The tailwind during the run was 0.1 m/s.
Richardson was overwhelming in the heats. Ran the second fastest time Brittany Brown, 10.96. The others did not go below 11 seconds.

The semifinals and finals of the competition will be run on Friday. In the US championships, places are allocated to the value races in the traditional way. The World Championships will be held in August in Budapest.
Richardson doesn’t have any championship medals yet. He missed the Tokyo Olympics a couple of years ago because of a cannabis bug.
In January, the runner was removed from an American Airlines flight following an argument with Stuart.
Although Richardson ran in the USA for a long time, the top name of the world season may change quickly. The sport has been dominated by Jamaicans in recent years. Three-time Olympic champion and 10-time World Cup gold medalist Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce has not yet opened its doors. Last year, Fraser-Pryce had a best time of 10.62 in the 100 meters.
