INSANE: Sha carri richardson beats tori bowie record after paying emotional tribute | Rare Historical Photos

Sha'Carri Richardson has beaten the late Tori Bowie's 100m Wanda Diamond League record in emotional scenes just days after her former teammate's death.

The 23-year-old produced her biggest win in two years with a time of 10.77, shaving off 0.03 of a second off Bowie's 100m Diamond League meeting record. Richardson defeated a world-class field including the likes of Shericka Jackson, Dina Asher-Smith, Twanisha Terry, Zoe Hobbs, Teahna Daniels, Melissa Jefferson, and Abby Steiner.

Richardson's record-breaking run comes just days after Bowie died aged 32 in her Florida home. A cause of death has not been released for Bowie, who competed in the long jump, 100m, and 200m, and was a three-time Olympic medalist.
