'Track & Field deserves the audience that it needs' - Sha'Carri Richardson emphasizes importance of fans support at meets
World champion Sha'Carri Richardson praised the fan support at Grand Slam Track in Philadelphia, and how ATHLOS can imbibe from the atmosphere.
Amusan stands a chance to hold her own against the established sprinters as her time of 11.28s early in the season is impressive enough, and considering her string of impressive performances in her past few hurdling races, she's definitely in shape to lower the time.
In addition, she blazed to her first hurdles victory of the season at the Rabat Diamond League two weeks ago, where she clocked a brilliant time of 12.44s.

Amusan will aim to lower her 100m time and a good position finish as she continues preparations ahead of the World Championships in Tokyo in September.
