PARIS — Since qualifying for the Olympics in 2021 only to be barred from competing, Sha’Carri Richardson had waited three years for the second chance that arrived Saturday night. Yet right from the gun, Richardson was forced to play catch-up to Saint Lucia’s Julien Alfred, who left no doubt on her way to a gold medal in her Olympic debut in 10.72 seconds. It was a repeat of the semifinal earlier Saturday night when Alfred also beat Richardson convincingly. In Paris, Richardson planned to leave that turbulent period like the seven other racers in the Olympic final — behind her. Instead, it was Alfred who was never seriously challenged on her way to gold, screaming in joy as she crossed the finish line.

PARIS — A noise rippled through Stade de France on Saturday evening when, before a semifinal of the women’s 100 meters at the Paris Olympics, the lane belonging to Jamaican sprinting star Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce was unexpectedly left empty. Fraser-Pryce, long the standard-bearer for the event after winning Olympic gold in 2008 and 2012, bronze in 2016 and silver in 2021, did not start the race, a dropout that was not revealed publicly until her competitors stepped up to their starting blocks. It marked the second stunning withdrawal of a Jamaican star of these Olympics, after Shericka Jackson also withdrew from the 100 days earlier. Jackson will run the 200-meters. Richardson safely advanced to Saturday night’s final, though was beaten in her semifinal by Julien Alfred of Saint Lucia.

Only a gold medal seemed worthy of her ability. Richardson’s time of 10.87 was good enough to win a silver, her first Olympic medal. Julien Alfred just won the FIRST Olympic medal EVER for Saint Lucia! Richardson missed out on delivering the United States’ first gold medal in the women’s 100 meters since Gail Devers in 1996. She could still win a gold medal in the 4×100 relay on Aug. 9.

“I think it was the worst pressure you could ever be put under,” British former sprinter Allan Wells, who won 100m gold at the 1980 Moscow Olympics, told CNN Sport. “You run through it in your head thousands of times – the start, the gun going off,” Wells added. “It was the worst feeling you could ever have but still be in control of what you were hoping to achieve,” said Wells, one of only three British sprinters to win 100m gold at the Olympics. The legendary Bolt, winner of three consecutive 100m gold medal between 2008 and 2016, said that he would try not to overthink things. Bolt was famously relaxed on the start line, fist-bumping race officials and playing up to the crowd with gestures and poses.

The two-part sixth, and final, season of “The Crown” explores Princess Diana’s final days before she perishes in a car accident. Debicki believes it’s a common experience for "The Crown" actors to struggle to “let go” and stop “observing” themselves while filming the show. Similarly, Khalid Abdalla - who portrays Dodi Fayed, Egyptian billionaire Mohamed al-Fayed's son, who was in a romantic relationship with Princess Diana - viewed his work with Debicki as a huge responsibility. He went into the final season also thinking about how the loss of Princess Diana is still a “cultural trauma” for “millions of people around the world.”Abdalla said the sacredness of what “The Crown” cast was recreating was something to which he wanted to give dignity.

The governing body said on Sunday it was 'revisiting' the incident. "The FIA notes that Lewis was apologetic during the subsequent stewards hearing into the incident and acknowledged that the crossing was a serious safety breach," said a statement. "However, in view of his role model status, the FIA is concerned about the impression his actions may have created on younger drivers." The stewards report at the time said Hamilton had reached the inside edge of the track just seconds before Russell arrived at high speed after exiting the pits. The governing body is likely to want to set clearer guidelines and more stringent penalties for such a breach in future.

Richardson clocked 10.65 seconds after catching Jamaica's Shericka Jackson, who took silver in 10.72. Jamaican Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, who was seeking a remarkable sixth world 100m title at the age of 36 after an injury-hit season, had to settle for bronze in 10.77. Jackson, in lane four, had opened a clear gap and was still ahead at 80 metres before Richardson swept through and raised her arm in triumph. Richardson is the first U.S. winner of the women's 100 since the triumph in 2017 of Tori Bowie , who died this year aged 32.

Jackson was clear and eased at the end, allowing Ta Lou to exactly match her 10.79 finishing time, even to the thousandth of a second. A desperate Richardson had to strain every sinew to claim third in 10.84 – which proved good enough to send her through as one of the two fastest losers. She recovered from a sluggish start to drive home, with American Tamari Davis going through alongside with 10.98. Julien Alfred of St Lucia had a scare, being given a warning card after moving in the blocks in the third heat. She then had a terrible start in the restarted race but finished well to win in 10.92.
