Sha'Carri Richardson will represent the United States' best hope of keeping the women's world 100m title out of Jamaican hands next month, while Gabby Thomas showed she will be a huge threat in the 200m as the U.S. Championships wrapped up in Eugene, Oregon on Sunday.

The fan favourite left no doubt this time that she is her country's brightest star, producing a personal best 10.71 in the 100m semis and winning the final in 10.82. "Every time we step on the track we have to expect that our competitors are going to just bring it," Thomas told reporters. Instead, Charleston took the upset victory in 9.95 with 2019 world champion Christian Coleman finishing second and Noah Lyles third.

Olympic and world 400m hurdles champion Sydney McLaughlin made her mark in a new event, winning the 400m flat in a world-leading 48.74, though she has yet to decide if she will double up in Budapest.
