Sha’Carri Richardson blazes the track to win the women’s 200m in Nairobi

American sprint star Sha’Carri Richardson signalled her return to form with an easy win in the women’s 200m at the Kip Keino Classic in Nairobi on Saturday while local sensation Ferdinand Omanyala streaked to a world-leading time this year in the 100m.

Already the fastest woman in the world this year in the 100m, the 23-year-old American obliterated the field to win in a new meet time of 22.07 seconds.

Her victory in the 200m came a week after she won the 100m in a world-leading 10.76 seconds at the season-opening Diamond League meeting in Doha.
