Richardson actually got off to a weak start but quickly switched up and just floated away from the field and jumped and cheered with joy when the time of 1.6 meters / second tailwind came up in Miramar, Florida.
It was the fastest time in five years.
She won the qualifier at 11.00.
- My coach will be proud of me but will also say that we have a lot of work left and I agree with that.
My season will be fantastic, Richardson promises according to World Athletics.
21-year-old Richardson is the sixth of all time and the youngest to run so fast. World time, however, did not come like a bolt from the blue. Already two years ago, Richardson ran 10.75 as a 19-year-old and holds the world record for the U20 class.
