World 100m champion Sha’Carri Richardson will make her second Diamond League appearance of the season this Saturday (16 August) at the Silesia meeting in Poland, as she steps up preparations to defend her title at next month’s World Athletics Championships in Tokyo.
The Paris 2024 Olympic silver medallist opened her Diamond League campaign in Eugene on 5 July, finishing ninth. That race was won by her training partner and US sprint double champion Melissa Jefferson-Wooden, a familiar rival she will face again in Silesia.
Also joining the stacked women’s 100m field in Silesia are Cote D’Ivoire’s Marie-Josée Ta Lou-Smith and Jamaica’s dynamic sisters Tina and Tia Clayton.
The 25-year old former LSU student athlete will be looking to replicate her success from 2023, when she won the 100m on her most recent visit to the Polish city.
The women’s 100m race featuring Richardson will be the last event of the day and is scheduled for approximately 17:53 Central European Standard Time (UTC +2).
Before Richardson takes to the track, fans will be treated to a stacked programme featuring some of the sport’s biggest names: Noah Lyles and Kishane Thompson in the men’s 100m, world record-holder Mondo Duplantis in the pole vault, Shericka Jackson in the women’s 200m, and a mouth-watering women’s 400m showdown between the entire Paris 2024 podium — Marileidy Paulino, Salwa Eid Nasser, and Natalia Kaczmarek.
