ATHLETICS: Omanyala and Akani Simbine face off as Diamond League heads to Monaco
This season, the duo has clashed twice and recorded different results in both races.
The three have had a great season thus far and they will intend to maintain the hot streaks when they line up for the 100m. Jackson is the fastest among the three after running a brilliant race to win the 100m in 10.65 during the Jamaican Championships.
Richardson is the second fastest, a feat she achieved when she ran 10.71 during the 100m heats at the USA National Championships. The Ivorian is the third fastest after she ran 10.75 to win the 100m at the Bislett Games, the Diamond League Meeting in Oslo.
Meanwhile, in their past two encounters, Richardson defeated Jackson and the Jamaican will definitely be looking to change the narrative when they arrive in the United Kingdom’s capital.
Their first encounter was during the Diamond League Meeting in Doha, Qatar where Richardson edged Jackson to second place and repeated the same trend during the Meeting in Silesia, Poland.
