Sha'Carri Richardson speaks out after Xiamen Diamond League setback
Sha'Carri Richardson remains optimistic despite unexpected second-place finish in her season opener at the Xiamen Diamond League.
The 17-year-old prodigy clocked an astonishing 9.93 seconds in the 100m dash, not only smashing his personal best but also setting a new American U20 record.
This remarkable feat eclipsed the previous U20 record of 9.97 seconds set by Trayvon Bromell back in June 2014.
Miller's time is currently one of the fastest globally this year, propelling him to No. 3 on the U20 all-time list, just behind Surinam's Issam Asinga and Botswana's Letsile Tebogo.

'I'm just as capable of winning'- Christian Coleman reacts after beating Fred Kerley in Xiamen
Christian Coleman overcame a slow start to defeat Fred Kerley in the 100m at the Xiamen Diamond League
In a past interview, Miller expressed his exhilaration and forward-looking perspective.
"It's definitely a crazy feeling that almost two years ago I'd be watching all the college athletes and the professional. I just think, man, I just want to be out there running faster, even closer to their times," he shared with Citius Mag.
"And now I'm progressing closer and closer, and I can almost see how I think I'm going to keep performing before me. I just see myself getting closer and closer to them as I grow," he added.
This is not the first time Miller has stunned the track world.
In July 2023, he dominated the USA U20 Championships in Eugene, Oregon, clinching gold in both the 100m and 200m sprints and setting new personal bests.
His 10.06-second finish in the 100m at that event also established a new world under-18 record, showcasing his potential early in his career.
