Sha'Carri Richardson dominates another stacked field to win the women's 100m at Doha Diamond League.

Sha'Carri Richardson is a woman in form this season, defeating a stacked field that includes world champion Shericka Jackson to win the women's 100m in a Meeting Record and World Lead of 10.76s (0.9) at the Doha Diamond League.

In so doing, Richardson erased late Tori Bowie's Meeting Record of 10.82s set back in 2016.

The US 100m sensation didn't have a perfect start but caught up with the rest of the field halfway through the track, eventually blazing past them to take the famous victory.

Jackson finished second in 10.85s, while Great Britains Dina Asher-Smith settled for third in a Season's Best (SB) of 10.98s. Twanisha Terry was fourth in 11.07s, and New Zealand's Zoe Hobbs completed the top five position in 11.08s.

Richardson's form this season is incredible, having clocked a jaw-dropping windy 10.57s (4.1m/s) at the Miramar Invitational - the third fastest all-conditions time in world history.
