Today, the women\u2019s 100m just went through the heats, and now, we are on the path to the semifinals and final race later in the afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Double sprint world champion Sha\u2019Carri Richardson is seeking her first Games medal and leads a stacked women\u2019s field that includes three-time Olympic gold medallist Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. After the eight heats had gone by, we got our Qualified Athletes for the semifinals, and their times: The best times registered on the track in the heats belong to Marie-Josse Ta Lou-Smith, from Cote D’Ivoire, as number one. Great Britain’s Daryll Neita and Jamaica’s Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce tied for the 2nd fastest. And the United States representative, Sha’Carri Richardson, with the 3rd fastest recorded run on the track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are the times of each of the three semifinals and the time for the Final to begin. We could only get odds for 16 of the currently classified runners for the Semifinals, but things are looking like the clear favorite is the USA’s Sha’Carri Richardson, who will need to go all out in the remaining races if she wants to break the World Record and take the Gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Today, the women\u2019s 100m just went through the heats, and now, we are on the path to the semifinals and final race later in the afternoon.

Tokyo 2020 gold medallist Elaine Thompson-Herah is absent at the Paris Games through injury, while her Jamaican teammate Shericka Jackson announced that she would not compete on July 31st.
The women\u2019s 100m contest is likely to be defined by the rivalry between the U.S. and Jamaican athletes, who betweenthem have recorded seven of the ten fastest times ever. Richardson is joint fifth fastest on the all-time list at 10.65 seconds.
Africa\u2019s fastest woman, Ivorian Marie-Josee Ta Lou-Smith, alongside Saint Lucia\u2019s Julien Alfred,<\/strong> 2019 world champion Dina Asher-Smith, and Nigeria’s Rosemary Chukwuma are the other big names to keep an eye on.
With such a fast field, Florence Griffith Joyner\u2019s 100m world record of 10.49 seconds which has stood since 1988 could be under threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWomen’s 100m Qualifier Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
