Sha'Carri Richardson earned sweet redemption and a spot at the world championships as she won the 100 metres in 10.82 seconds on Friday at the U.S. championships, while Cravont Charleston won in an upset on the men's side in 9.95.
Richardson lost her place at the Tokyo Olympics after a positive cannabis test and failed to qualify for last year's worlds but would not be denied this time around, beating Brittany Brown by eight hundredths of a second.The fan-favourite Richardson got off to a lacklustre start but kept her poise, surging into the lead after the 60-metres mark and bounding into the stands to hug her supporters immediately after crossing the line in Eugene, Oregon.
"I'm just honoured, privileged to be here," said Charleston, who had failed to get past the semi-finals on the same Hayward Field track only a year ago. "I had to keep believing that I was just going to keep going. I had that dream that I was going to make that double... I didn't feel like I was going to really be part of the team unless I made the team in the 100 this year."Hurdle queen Sydney McLaughlin's foray into the 400m flat continued without issue as she glided into the final round with a 49.60 win on Friday.
Twice world silver medallist Rai Benjamin rolled through the men's 400m hurdles opening round with the fastest time of 49.05 while Dalilah Muhammad, the 2019 world champion, advanced on the women's side in 54.56.
