After her 100m victory, Sha'carri Richardson says it has brought unity between Jamaica and USA
In the press conference organised for the 200m medallists, Sha'Carri Richardson said there's nothing but love and unity between Jamaica and USA at the World Championships in Budapest.
After the race, a disappointed Jackson wasn't happy with her CR as it didn't break her goal smashing the WR, but promised to do so at the right moment.
If she's to attempt the WR in Zurich, the Jamaican speedster will need a stiff challenge to push her to the finish line, and she'll get that in Thomas - she has a Personal Best of 21.60s, the fourth-fastest time in history.

Both ladies will be gunning for a famous win and memorable moment, securing their names as the best in the event this season.
