Sha'Carri Richardson continued from her 100m performance, roaring to very fast 21.61s to win her qualifying 200m heat at the US Championships.
Sha'Carri Richardson is not pressing her speed pedal anytime soon after coasting to a fast 21.61s (2.6) to win her 200m preliminary race at the US Championships.
The newly crowned 100m US Champion started well and ran the curve in about 11.1s before coasting home to victory, clocking the fourth-fastest all-conditions time in history.
Richardson's 200m performance is coming from the wake of her 100m feats, where she clocked a Personal Best (PB) of 10.71s in the prelims, ran a convenient 10.75s in the semis, and sealed it with a 10.82s to win her first US title.
