Sha’Carri Richardson has secured her place at this summer’s Olympics in Paris by winning the women’s 100m at the US trials. The 24-year-old world champion claimed victory in 10.71 seconds, which is the fastest time in the world this year, to qualify for her first Games. Richardson won the 100m at the US trials three years ago but did not compete at the Tokyo Games after testing positive for marijuana. “I feel honoured,” she said. “I feel every chapter I’ve been through in my life designed and prepared me for this moment. I cannot wait to go to Paris and represent.”
Slow out of the blocks, Richardson accelerated to take the lead about 50m in before surging to victory, with Melissa Jefferson second in 10.80 and Twanisha Terry third in 10.89. All three women are set to race for Team USA in Paris. Richardson won gold at the 2023 World Championships in Budapest with a championship record of 10.65 to claim her first major title. She will be hoping to add Olympic gold to that victory, but she has not set a target time she wants to achieve in Paris.
