World's fastest woman Sha'Carri Richardson is heading to the Paris Olympic Games after successfully defending her 100m title at the USATF Olympic Trials.
Another glorious moment for Sha'Carri Richardson at the USATF Olympic Trials, winning the 100m title in an outstanding world-leading 10.71s to punch her ticket to Paris.
The world's fastest woman had her best start of all her rounds at the trials, blazing off to the finish line with no challenging response from the rest of the field.
She inspired her training mates Melissa Jefferson, who clocked a brilliant Personal Best (PB) of 10.80s to finish second and Tee Tee Twanisha Terry with her best performance of the season in 10.89s for third place, as the trio are heading to the Olympics for the first time in their careers.
Richardson's domineering time is her second-fastest career performance behind her world title-winning performance of 10.65s in Budapest last year.
In addition, she has now won the US 100m title for the third time - her first in 2021 to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics, but was later on suspended for the use of Marijuana in her system which hindered her debut at the Games.
