Sha'Carri Richardson beats Tori Bowie record after paying emotional tribute

Sha'Carri Richardson has beaten the late Tori Bowie's 100m Wanda Diamond League record in emotional scenes just days after her former teammate's death.

The 23-year-old produced her biggest win in two years with a time of 10.77, shaving off 0.03 of a second off Bowie's 100m Diamond League meeting record. Richardson defeated a world-class field including the likes of Shericka Jackson, Dina Asher-Smith, Twanisha Terry, Zoe Hobbs, Teahna Daniels, Melissa Jefferson, and Abby Steiner.

Richardson's record-breaking run comes just days after Bowie died aged 32 in her Florida home. A cause of death has not been released for Bowie, who competed in the long jump, 100m, and 200m, and was a three-time Olympic medalist.
