Jamaican athlete Elaine Thompson-Herah defended her title as the fastest woman in the world, taking first in the 100m at the Prefontaine Classic today.
Thompson-Herah finished with a time of 10.54 seconds, running the second-fastest Women’s 100m in history.
Fellow countrywomen Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Shericka Jackson came in 2nd and 3rd for a Jamaican podium sweep.
Today’s race was billed as Sha’carri Richardson’s return to competition after being barred from the Olympics due to a positive marijuana test, but she finished 9th in 11.14 seconds.
