Jamaican fans were starstruck after spotting Sha'Carri Richardson at the Jamaica Athletics Invitational.
World's fastest woman Sha'carri Richardson was spotted at her rival's home turf at the Jamaica Athletics Invitational, as dozens of fans gathered to catch a glimpse of the American track star.
Despite not racing on the day, Richardson was present at the Kingston stadium to support her fellow US athletes competing, and some have suggested she may be solely there for her 'rumoured boyfriend' Christian Coleman.
The former world 100m champion who twice defeated Usain Bolt before the track legend's retirement, raced in the men's 200m event and finished fifth in 20.46s.

Retired legend Michael Johnson listed the present and next track superstars. While Sha'Carri Richardson, Letsile Tebogo, and Rhasidat Adeleke were mentioned, some notable names were missing.
Great Britain's speedster Zharnel Hughes won the race in an impressive 19.96s (his fourth-fastest career time) ahead of Fred Kerley in 20.17s, while Frenchman Pablo Mateo was third in 20.20s and Canadian Brendon Rodney fourth in 20.42s.
During and after the meet, dozens of Jamaican fans were captured gathering around Richardson - now unarguably the most famous face of track and field.

Also, it isn't the first time the world-renowned speedster will be present at a meet to show support without racing, as she has twice done it earlier this season at the Millrose Games and Miramar Invitational - on both occasions Coleman was a competitor.
