In her first competitive event since missing out on the Olympics because of a suspension, Sha’Carri Richardson finished last in the Diamond League at the Prefontaine Classic on Saturday.
Competing in the women’s 100 meters in a nine-runner field that included Jamaican Olympic medalists Elaine Thompson-Herah (gold), Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce (silver) and Shericka Jackson (bronze), Richardson showed some rust after a two-month layoff.
The Jamaican trio took the top three spots, in the same order they finished at the Tokyo Games last month.
