Richardson Wins Stawell Gift From Scratch

Sha'Carri Richardson became the third woman to win Australia’s Stawell Gift from scratch, running 120 metres and outpacing the field for a 13.08‑second victory.

Richardson, the 26‑year‑old Olympic silver medallist, finished the uphill grass track in 13.08 seconds, the fastest women’s time in the event’s 148‑year history. She edged Australian 19‑year‑old Charlotte Nielsen, who started with a nine‑metre head‑start, to claim the 40,000 AUD prize pot.
