BUDAPEST — Sha’Carri Richardson only had 10 minutes to spare with her coach, Dennis Mitchell, between the semifinals and final of the world championships 100m on Monday night. Despite the short amount of time, Mitchell focused on improving Richardson’s start, as she had the second-slowest reaction time among the semifinalists. Richardson managed to finish third in her semi and secure a spot in the final as a time qualifier. Mitchell sent Richardson off to the final race with a challenge: “Who’s the fastest?” Richardson responded by delivering the best time of her life, winning the race with a time of 10.65 seconds. This victory, achieved from the farthest outside lane, made her the first woman to finish first in an Olympic or world 100m final without placing in the top two in her semifinal. In the final race, Richardson overtook both Shericka Jackson and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, two formidable Jamaican sprinters, to claim the gold medal. Despite facing obstacles and setbacks throughout her career, Richardson’s faith and determination have propelled her to this momentous achievement.
