The athletic world recently witnessed an epic battle unfolding at two separate venues. It was the usual suspects – Shericka Jackson and Sha’Carri Richardson. Both track stars dominated their respective Track and Field Championships and booked a spot for next month’s World Athletic Championship in Budapest, a first for Richardson.

Shericka Jackson, with her 5 Olympic medals, now finds a hungry and ruthless Sha’Carri Richardson, challenging for top honors. In the latest track and field championships, the two track stars captivated fans with their electrifying speed. So much so that both these track stars ended up setting this year’s fastest time for women’s 100m in the space of just a day.

Sha’Carri and Shericka’s epic battle

The Athletics Track and Field Championships are underway. All track stars have been giving their absolute best in order to qualify for next month’s World Championships in Budapest. Prior to her women’s 100m final win, the LSU alum briefly set this year’s fastest time in women’s 100m with 10.71 seconds in Heat 1. However, her one-day record was broken by Jamaica’s Shericka Jackson, who clocked 10.65 seconds. Richardson followed her personal best with a jaw-dropping performance that left the Hayward Field crowd in awe. She secured a pole position and clocked a time of 10.82 seconds, beating Brittany Brown (10.90) who came in second, and Tamari Davis (10.99) who finished third. Speaking to NBC post-race, Richardson said, “I’m not back, I’m better.”?

Meanwhile, in Kingston, Shericka Jackson also secured the top spot in her women’s 100m and ended up setting this year’s fastest time of 10.65 seconds. In the process, the 5x Olympian became the world’s fifth fastest woman of all time. She is tied in fifth with American Marion Jones. Jackson claimed that her finishing needs to improve more.

According to a BBC report, the Olympian said,?“I know I’m a strong finisher, but I still need to work on that a bit. I have to go back to the drawing board with coach, but I did a very good job.”?Soon after the dominance on the track, the Twitter world went into a frenzy and fans reacted with what they can expect in Budapest next month.
