Sha’Carri Richardson edges Julien Alfred in Olympic 100m rematch in Zurich

Sha’Carri Richardson overtook Julien Alfred in the final strides to win the 100m in each’s first race since the Olympics at a Diamond League meet in Zurich, Switzerland.

The Olympic 100m silver medalist Richardson clocked 10.84 seconds on a rain-soaked track, four hundredths ahead of the Olympic gold medalist Alfred from Saint Lucia.

“This is probably the funnest race I’ve had all season,” Richardson said. “I took that time after the Games to come back, regroup and be able to show you guys the Sha’Carri Richardson y’all know.”

At the Paris Games, Alfred won in 10.72 ahead of Richardson (10.87) on Aug. Richardson has the world’s best time of 2024: 10.71 from the U.S. Olympic Trials.
