Sha'Carri Richardson won the first 100-meter race of her Olympic year on Saturday, finishing in first place at the Prefontaine Classic.
Richardson recorded a time of 10.83 seconds during her victory, emerging from a competitive field that included Julien Alfred, Dina Asher Smith, Ta Lou, and two-time reigning Olympic gold medalist Elaine Thompson-Herah.
"I felt great about my race," Richardson said afterwards, via NBC Sports. "It's my [100-meter season] opener, I would not be human to say that I wasn't nervous. As my coach says, use that nervousness as motivation."
The reigning world champion started off strong but lagged just behind Alfred in the early stages before eventually picking up her pace and moving into the lead.
