Sha'Carri Richardson heads to Poland this weekend riding her best form in four years. The 2023 world champion clocked 10.77 seconds in the women's 100m twice this season and claimed her third US 100m title in New York just last month. Now, she lines up against arguably the deepest field of the year at the Silesia Diamond League 2026.

The Sunday showdown at Silesian Stadium features five major-championship gold medalists.
Olympic champion Julien Alfred arrives unbeaten in 2026, while reigning world champion Melissa Jefferson-Wooden won this same race last year in 10.66 seconds. Meanwhile, two-time world 200m champion Shericka Jackson and four-time Olympic gold medalist Elaine Thompson-Herah add even more depth. Home favorite Ewa Swoboda rounds out the top entries.
Beyond the individual matchups, qualification spots for the Diamond League Final and the inaugural Ultimate Championship hang in the balance.
For Richardson, a strong showing in Silesia would reinforce her standing among the sport's best as the season enters its final stretch. It will also give fans a preview of what to expect in just two years at LA28.
The women's 100m is scheduled for 11:53 AM ET on Sunday, August 23rd. US viewers can stream the race live on FloTrack.
