Who will become the World Athlete of the Year?

In season 2023, Sha’Carri Richardson and Shericka Jackson created history. In the 100-meter event, Richardson surpassed Jackson to clinch a win in under 10.65 seconds. After this win, the athlete became the world’s fastest woman alive in 100 meters. However, only days after the event,  Jackson regained dominance as the athlete came one step closer to breaking Flo-Jo’s record on 200-meter tracks.

The 29-year-old athlete upped her world’s fastest woman-alive record in the set in 2022 by clocking in 21.41, while Richardson could only secure the third position. Apart from these wins, the two athletes have also won the 100m relay race and 100m Diamond League finals for their teams, respectively.
