US Sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson brought home the trophy dramatically Monday at the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary. She barely edged ahead to capture the victory in an entertaining women’s 100 meters final. Richardson, who started in the less-than-desirable lane 9, won the gold setting a personal best while simultaneously setting a championship record with 10.65 seconds. That's only .16 seconds behind the world record set by the late great Florence Griffith Joyner. Richardson is currently tied for the title of fifth-fastest woman over 100 meters in history.

The American and Jamaican rivalry was alive and well in the women’s 100 as Jamaican sprinters finished second and third. Olympic bronze medalist Shericka Jackson earned the silver medal in 10.72 seconds. Two-time Olympic gold medalist and the 2022 100-meter champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce claimed the bronze in 10.77 seconds.
“I feel amazing. I feel like hard work pays off. I’ve been dedicating myself. I’ve been keeping my faith strong this season and just believing and knowing whatever you practice is what you put forward, and I’m grateful. ”
The 23-year-old has been on pace to become one of the biggest stars on the track but was hit with a one-month suspension in 2021 after testing positive for marijuana. She later expressed that her actions were a result of her mourning her mother. Despite the negativity and push back Sha’carri remained dedicated to her craft and is now a world champion. Richardson shared that running in the outside lane on Monday was symbolic of her determination and focus.
“I was by myself in my own world, which honestly has been like that all my life. I’ve always been in my own world, my own element, so being in lane 9 was perfect for me to do what it is I know to do and to focus more on myself. And when I celebrated it was because I felt like I did my best no matter what the result was going to be. I felt like I did my best. ”
The World Athletics Championship was her first global event since the Olympics. The 2023 champion is also slated to compete in the 200 meters which will be contested Wednesday through Friday. Sha’Carri has performed extremely well this season, posting a then-world-best time of 10.71 in the 100 meters at the US Championships. The LSU standout is also one of six women in the pool for the 4x100-meter relay team. Richardson continues to break records and boundaries as she is now the first American 100-meter world champion in six years.

Usain Bolt's Advice To Sha'Carri Richardson Benefits Every Athlete
Track superstar Usain Bolt gave some sound words of advice for U.S. champion, Sha’Carri Richardson that every athlete could benefit from, “train harder and to be focused.”
By: Omar Cook
Sha’Carri Richardson has been making headlines for quite some time now as she has emerged as track and fields’ biggest stars but it has not come without controversy. After being disqualified from the 2021 Olympics this summer, Richardson was forced to set her attention to her next race at the Prefontaine Classic.
Sha’Carri was very vocal about her previous performances leading up to this highly anticipated race with Jamaican sensations Elaine Thompson-Herah and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, as of course any elite athlete should feel confident about winning. Unfortunately, her cockiness was not taken well publicly after she placed last place in the 100m race taking 9th place in her first race back since her U.S. Olympic trials race.
In early September, Sha’Carri once again hit the track in the Diamond League this time taking 4th place in the 200m. Much improved from 9th place as she begins to find her groove once again.
Track superstar Usain Bolt gave some sound words of advice for the U.S. champion.
I would tell Sha’Carri to train harder and to be focused and not say too much … If you talk that big talk you have to back it up,” Bolt said. “So just train hard and focus on that and try to come back do it and then talk about it.”
Bolt mentioned that the Jamaican women had added incentive to beat Sha’Carri due to her public comments.
“Jamaicans were vexed because she was talking a lot of s**t before the actual race, it is just one of those things,” he said. “Jamaicans don’t like when people talk s**t about us because we are a very proud people. So if you talk about us we are gonna want you to back it up. It definitely gave those women the extra push [to win.]”
Bolt has delt with athletes that have been outwardly vocal in the past as he went head to head with Justin Gatlin in the 2016 Olympics.
“That was my thing with Justin Gatlin — because he’s the one that was always talking — so that gives me that energy like, ‘All right you think you’re gonna win let’s go!’ So it does give you that extra boost to wanna beat that person,” he said of Gatlin. Gatlin finished second to Bolt in the 2016 Olympics.
Sha’Carri Richardson is definitely one of track’s hottest stars as she currently has run the 6th fastest time in history in the 100m in 10.72 seconds, but Richardson will have to deal with being humbled for the time being. Like the old saying goes, if you talk the talk you gotta walk the walk. Richardson will definitely be back on top but at this moment, her talking needs to be done with results.
