Sha'Carri Richardson SHOCKS THE WORLD! 10.57  rounded up to 10.77 || 2023 Miramar Invitational 
Sha'Carri Richardson produced a spectacular 100m performance at the Miramar Invitational in Florida on Saturday (8 April).

The American speedster missed out on Tokyo 2020 after testing positive for a chemical found in marijuana, and then failed to qualify for last year's World Championships.

But she showed she is in the mood to make up for lost time, surging clear at halfway and celebrating before stopping the clock in 10.57 with Twanisha Terry second in 10.83.

A following wind of 4.1 m/s may have ruled it out for record purposes, but it was still the fourth quickest women's 100m time in history.

Richardson's time equates to 10.77 with zero wind assistance, showing she can certainly make her presence felt as she tries to topple the all-conquering Jamaicans at August's World Championships in Budapest.

One of those, world 200m champion Shericka Jackson, suffered defeat as she made a rare appearance over 400m with American hurdler Shamier Little taking victory in 50.73.

Charokee Young was second 51.58, just ahead of her Jamaican compatriot Jackson in 51.64.

There was a fast time in the men's 100m as Jamaican Oblique Seville clocked 9.91 with a tailwind of 2.2 m/s, just above the 2 m/s limit.

Countryman Ackeem Blake was second (9.93) with Canada's Aaron Brown third (9.97) and USA's Ronnie Baker running 9.98 in fourth.

Seville, who trains under Usain Bolt's former coach Glen Mills, said on track afterwards, "My execution wasn't that bad. I just came out here to see where I'm at in training so 9.91 is a good start."
