Sha'Carri Richardson wins her first world title in Budapest by setting an incredible Championship Record

Sha'Carri Richardson broke the women's 100-meter world record in Budapest, becoming the new champion. Sha'Carri Richardson, competing in her maiden World Championships, dominated the women's 100-meter final with a mind-blowing 10.65 seconds to claim the world championship in Budapest. With less pressure, the American sprinter took off from lane 9, and her start was strong enough to keep up with the rest of the pack.Her top-end speed worked its magic, though, as she outran her competitors in the final 30 meters to win the race and become the new world champion.Richardson broke the Championship Record as Jamaica's duo of Shericka Jackson and defending champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce settled for silver and bronze medals in 10.72s and 10.77s respectively. Fraser-Pryce's medal means she is the most decorated Jamaican athlete (male or female) in World Championships history with 15 medals, passing legendary Usain Bolt. For Richardson, she delivered on her talent and hype, showing up when it mattered most and making up for her past failures of making a major championship.
