Just a few days after the conclusion of the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest, numerous medalists were in Zurich, Switzerland on Thursday for a Diamond League meet. There were a couple of athletes who showed signs of a Worlds hangover, but others didn't.
She has been fond of saying"I'm not back, I'm better," of her '23 campaign, and it's hard to argue. Richardson has been consistently great on the track again. Before her stumbles, she was was thrust into the world spotlight and turned professional at just 19, after winning the NCAA 100m championship as a true freshman in a meet record 10.75 seconds. Yet she had some in the track world ready to write her off after the events of the previous two years.
Thompson-Herah, one of the most decorated sprinters of the past decade with 11 World and Olympic medals, has been struggling with injuries for several months, and ran in only the opening round of the 4x100 relay in Budapest, not the final nor either of her usual individual events. Still, her 11.00 time Thursday was a season's best.
Noah Lyles, who became the first man since Usain Bolt in 2015 to win world titles in the 100, 200 and 4x100 in the same year, had to work for his win in the 200 on Thursday, pushed by fellow American Erriyon Knighton. Lyles and Knighton were 1-2 in Budapest and repeated that finish, with Lyles running 19.80 and Knighton at 19.87 seconds.
