Sha’Carri Richardson will return to the track in search of redemption after finishing last in Eugene

It has been confirmed that Sha’Carri Richardson is returning to the Diamond League to race the 200m this Friday in Brussels. After all the drama that unfolded after her race in Eugene, and missing the Olympic Games due to a suspension from USATF. Richardson returns to the track in search of redemption.

Richardson will go up against 200m specialist and 2019 World Champion Dina Asher-Smith and the Namibian duo of Beatrice Masilingi and Tokyo silver medallist Christine Mboma. She will once again go up against Jamaica’s Shericka Jackson, who won bronze in Tokyo and beat Richardson over the 100m distance in Eugene.

Richardson dropped out of the 200m race in Eugene after she failed to meet U.S. fan’s expectations in the 100m. This will be her third 200m race of the 2021 season, last running the event in Austria this past May (22.35s).

Brussels is the last stop on the Diamond League circuit before the two-day Diamond League finals in Zurich next week. Action from Brussels will kick off on Friday, Sept. 3 on CBC Sports.
