Sha'Carri Richardson earned her Olympic redemption on Saturday, winning the 100 meter final at the U.S. trials to punch her ticket to Paris, as Noah Lyles cruised through the opening heats on the men's side.
The world champion wrested the lead midway through the race and accelerated through the final meters to finish in a world-leading 10.71 seconds, with Melissa Jefferson taking second in 10.80 and Twanisha Terry third in 10.89.
The fan favorite saw her Tokyo Olympic dream shattered with a positive cannabis test three years ago but was able to shake off the bitter memories as she took in the wild cheers from the adoring crowd in Eugene, Oregon.
