New Delhi, June 23 (SocialNews.XYZ) Reigning world champion Sha'Carri Richardson has officially booked her ticket to the Paris 2024 Olympics women's 100m with the fastest time in the world this year at the US Olymic trials.
The 24-year-old clinched the victory in 10.71 seconds to qualify for her maiden Olympics. She won the 100m at the trials three years ago but missed the Tokyo Games due to a positive marijuana test.

Richardson's victory at the US trials follows her gold medal at the 2023 World Championships in Budapest, where she set a championship record of 10.65 seconds, claiming her first major title. Now, she sets her sights on Olympic gold in Paris.
The US Olympic trials also saw standout performances in other events. Ryan Crouser secured victory in the men's shot put with a throw of 22.84 meters, while Jasmine Moore won the women's triple jump on her final attempt, reaching a distance of 14.26 meters.
