Video: Sha'Carri Richardson celebrates 40m to go and still runs Meeting Record at Kip Keino Classic
Sha'Carri Richardson is in incredible shape this season, having stormed to a scorching Meeting Record (MR) of 22.07s for victory in the 200m at the Kip Keino Classic in Nairobi, Kenya.
Richardson led from the start, and after outpacing the rest of the field at 150m to the race, she slowed down celebrating towards the finish line, proving there's more in the tank and could have gone under the 22s mark with perhaps a 21.7s.
There was no catching Sha'Carri Richardson 🇺🇲 today!
