American Sha’Carri Richardson crushed Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce’s hopes of a sixth women’s world 100m title when she stormed to victory here on Monday. 

Richardson sprinted to a championship record of 10.65sec despite being in Lane Nine. Shericka Jackson and veteran Jamaican teammate Fraser-Pryce took silver and bronze in 10.72sec and 10.77sec respectively. At the post-race press conference Richardson, 23, said it was as much ‘the haters’ as her close circle that had driven her to success. The haters, in her view, being those who waded in after she had to miss the Tokyo Olympics when her US trials results were annulled following a positive test for marijuana.
