Sha'Carri Richardson revealed how she overcame her struggles, going back to her faith and that she's better this season.
Sha'carri Richardson is having a great year so far, which has seen her clock the top two fastest times in the world this season.
Her recent victory came at the Doha Diamond League, running a blistering world lead and Meeting Record (MR) of 10.72s to defeat a stacked field that included world silver medallist Shericka Jackson and Great Britain's record holder Dina Asher-Smith.
Shortly after her win in Doha, a trending video surfaced online revealing how she returned to her faith and overcame her struggles.
"I had to return back to my faith, and I feel so much better. That's why when you all say I'm back, I'm not back, I'm better."
Richardson is the most talked about female sprinter in the world, having trended for both positive and negative reasons in the past. She has failed to make the US team to any major athletics championship, one which has a huge percentage of changing this year after her rediscovered form this season.
Earlier in the year, Ricardson sped her way to the history books with a jaw-dropping wind-aided 10.57s at the Miramar Invitational - the third-fastest time in world history.
