Sha’Carri Richardson reacts after winning the women’s 100 meter dash final on Day 2 of the 2024 U.S. Olympic Team Track & Field Trials at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon. AFPEUGENE—World 100 meters champion Sha’Carri Richardson earned a chance for Olympic redemption after winning the 100m at the US athletics trials on Saturday, booking her ticket to the Paris Games.
“I feel honored,” Richardson said. “I feel every chapter I’ve been through in my life designed and prepared me for this moment.Reigning men’s 100m world champion Noah Lyles began his quest for Olympic gold in the event by leading all semi-final qualifiers from men’s preliminary heats in 9.92.Not since Gail Devers in 1996 has an American woman been crowned an Olympic 100m champion.
But dreams of Olympic gold were shattered when it was revealed she had tested positive for marijuana, resulting in a one-month suspension that banned her from Tokyo. It’s a redemption run for Lyles, who failed to qualify for the 100m final at the Tokyo Olympics and settled for bronze in a 200m final where he was a favorite.
Lyles ended any suspense, winning by .08 of a second over Kenny Bednarek in the opening heat with a 0.2m/sec tailwind. He was never going to threaten his season best of 9.85 or his personal best of 9.83.
