Reigning world 100m champion Sha’Carri Richardson has withdrawn from Saturday’s Miramar Invitational.
She was scheduled to compete in both the 100m and 200m events at the Ansin Sports Complex.
“Hey everyone, I just want to let everybody know that I will not be competing this weekend at Miramar,” Richardson announced in a social media post on Wednesday.
Fans were anticipating a clash between Richardson and two-time world 200m champion Shericka Jackson but they will now have to wait for the battle to possibly pan out in the Diamond League.
To make her decision clear, she claimed that a new year has prompted her to take a new approach toward her Olympic journey.
“Different year, different approach, different energy to my preparation this year,” she said.
She went on to state that she didn’t want her fans to find out about the news from anyone else, rather insisted they learned about it directly from “the horse’s mouth.”
“I don’t want anybody to get their hopes up,” Sha’Carri added.
However, the American assure fans that “it’s going to be a great meet, great athletes.”
“Lock in, enjoy the meet and stay tuned for when I do step on the track,” she added.
The 24-year-old won her maiden world title with a personal best 10.65 in Budapest last year.
