It’s been a long time since Sha’Carri Richardson made history in the 100-meters competition. She is the sixth-fastest women’s sprinter in the world. Posting a time of 10.72 seconds at the 2021 Miramar Invitational track and field meet, Richardson dominated the track. However, since then, her career has been on a downward spiral. Finishing last in her much-awaited race after her doping ban, Richardson lost the plot in that race with the Jamaican trio.

But, she is young and has a long way to go. Recently, Olympic gold medalist Justin Gatlin opened up on her undeniable talent and that she ran a “10.3 in practice.” Now, 10.3s is way faster than the world record set by Florence Griffith Joyner in 1988. Thus, this has sent the netizens into a frenzy, with most of them sharing their opinions on social media platforms. 

Fans react to Sha’Carri Richardson’s blistering 10.3 in training

In a recent interview, Gatlin revealed how close Richardson is to that record. Explaining the natural technique that helps her sprint, Gatlin explained how Richardson set world record times in practice. 

“She comes through, boop, 10.5s, boop, 10.3s, you know I mean. That’s smashing the world record that Flo-Jo put together. So if she is doing it at practice, it is only going to be a moment of time if she puts it together in a track meet, in a real meet. She is breaking the world record,” said Gatlin.
