The women’s 100m was one of the most hotly anticipated events of this year’s World Championships given the depth of the field, shown by Richardson requiring one of the non-automatic places to reach the final after clocking 10.84sec behind Jackson and Ivory Coast’s Marie-Jos\u00e9e Ta Lou’s 10.79 in her semi-final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Richardson missed the Tokyo 2020 Olympics because she was serving a one-month ban after testing positive for cannabis, and missed last year’s home World Championships in Eugene having failed to make the US team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, she had her moment as she powered home in 10.65 from lane nine, beating Fraser-Pryce’s Championships record set in Eugene last year by 0.02.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’m here. I’m the champion,” Richardson said afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I told you all, I’m not back, I’m better.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

World leader Jackson took second in 10.72, and five-time 100m world champion Fraser-Pryce earned bronze with a season’s best 10.77.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was also a Championships record in a thrilling men’s discus final, in which Olympic champion Daniel St\u00e5hl of Sweden emerged victorious from a tussle with defending champion Kristjan \u010ceh of Slovenia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

St\u00e5hl missed the podium in Eugene last year, and looked as though he may have to settle for silver when \u010ceh took the lead on his final attempt with a 70.02 metres throw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, St\u00e5hl hit back with a Championships record 71.46m to earn a second world title, and later described it as his “best performance ever”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mykolas Alekna of Lithuania followed up his silver in Eugene with bronze in Budapest through a 68.85m third attempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

American Grant Holloway became a multiple world champion in the 110 metres hurdles, clocking a season’s best 12.96sec to win his third consecutive gold medal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In doing so, he denied the man who beat him at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics Hansle Parchment of Jamaica, who had to settle for silver despite his own season’s best of 13.07.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daniel Roberts of the US completed the top three in 13.09, with the final missing world leader Rasheed Broadbell of Jamaica who crashed out of his heat yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Burkina

The day’s other gold medallist was Burkina Faso’s Hugues Fabrice Zango, who experienced joy in the men’s triple jump after a bronze at Tokyo 2020 and silver in Eugene last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He notched 17.64 metres on his penultimate attempt to deny Cuba’s indoor world champion L\u00e1zaro Mart\u00ednez by 0.03m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another Cuban athlete in Cristian N\u00e1poles set a personal best of 17.40m to take bronze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The triple jump final also missed the world leader, Jaydon Hibbert of Jamaica pulling out on his third attempt due to injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The World Athletics Championships is due to run until Sunday (August 27), with tomorrow featuring finals in the men’s high jump and 3,000 metres steeplechase and the women’s discus throw and women’s 1500m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
