BUDAPEST: Sha'Carri Richardson finally delivered on three years of promise when the American overcame the challenge of being stuck out in lane nine by delivering a late surge to win world 100 metres gold in a championship record 10.65 seconds on Monday .
Richardson missed the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 after testing positive for cannabis then failed to qualify for last year's worlds on home soil in Eugene. That came with the consequence that she was given lane nine - never popular with sprinters - but she had a far better start in the final and maintained her focus away from the traffic.
"In previous interviews I mentioned that I'm not back, I'm better. I'm going to stay humble, I'm not back, I'm better and I'm going to continue to be better," she said. "She's a massive talent. She didn't make the team in Doha and then came back in 2021 and won the trials. Everyone knew who she was after the ban.
