(ANSA) - EUGENE, JUN 26 - Trials to forget for the American sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson, who after being eliminated from the heats in the 100 meters, today placed only fifth in his semifinal of 200, running in 22.47.
It was a time that excluded her from the final and therefore also from the chance to win a place in the team that will play iMondiali, also in Eugene's Hayward Field.
The best time of the semifinals was set by the Ncaa champion Abby Steiner in 21.80.
Making a big splash last year in the Tokyo Olympic Trials, Richardson later saw the dream of the Games vanish due to a positivity to cannabis.
Evidently, at least judging by this year's results, she has not yet recovered from that disappointment.
In the semifinals of the men's 200 best time of the outgoing world champion Noah Lyles in 19.81.
In the other semifinal, rising star Erriyon Knighton, 18 years old from Florida, won in 19.97.
The outgoing champion of the 100 Chris Coleman did not show up, so he will only run the shortest distance at the World Championships.
