Sha’Carri Richardson caps comeback by winning 100-meter title at worlds

Associated Press  

BUDAPEST, Hungary — Track, and fame, can be brutal games. Her victory, in 10.65 seconds over Jamaicans Shericka Jackson and five-time world champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, capped a comeback two years in the making and made good on the mantra she’s been reciting all year — and repeated yet again after her latest victory: “I’m not back. “All the heavy hitters were going to bring their ‘A’ game, so it helped me pull out my best ‘A’ game, as well,” Richardson said. It feels remarkable.” Richardson appeared ready to become America’s next sprint star when, with her orange hair flowing behind her, she cruised to a win at trials two years ago. I personally told her, ‘You’ll never win that battle on your best day.’” Late last summer, Richardson bared her soul in a live chat on social media, urging people to find their true selves, much the way she had done.
