In a short career tightly packed with triumph and tumbles, Sha’Carri Richardson has become fastest woman in the world.

Richardson sprinted surpassing Jamaican rivals and won the 100 meters at the world championships in Budapest.

Richardson edged Shericka Jackson and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and crossed the finish line in 10.65 seconds, the fastest race of her life, a world championships record and a time that just four women have ever topped.

Running in Lane 9 after narrowly reaching the final, ­Richardson zoomed out of the blocks. She was even with Jackson, who won silver at the 2022 world championships, at the midway point.

With 30 meters left, she created a shred of daylight between her and Jackson, who from her inside lane could barely see Richardson inching past her. At the finish line, Richardson spread her arms wide, as if she might take off and fly away.

The win is her first in a global event has put her name in history books as the new Championship record holder and the fastest woman in the world.
