Sha'Carri Richardson narrowly misses qualifying for 200-meter final, ending her US championships
Richardson wound up fourth in her heat in a time of 22.56 seconds. The top two finishers in each heat advance along with the next three fastest times. Madison Whyte edged her out on time by running 22.55 seconds in the same heat.
A week ago, Richardson was arrested on a fourth-degree domestic violence offense for allegedly assaulting her boyfriend, sprinter Christian Coleman, at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. She was booked into South Correctional Entity in Des Moines, Washington, for more than 18 hours.
Days later, Richardson, 25, ran the opening round of the 100 meters at nationals before withdrawing from the event. She has an automatic spot to worlds next month in Tokyo as the defending 100-meter champion.
This was Richardson's first 200 race of the season. She won a bronze medal at the distance during the 2023 world championships in Budapest.
It was part of a stellar showing at worlds that season, as she also won the 100 and helped the 4x100 relay to a gold. A year later, Richardson finished with the silver medal in the 100 at the Paris Games.
Richardson had a positive marijuana test at the 2021 U.S. Olympic trials and didn't compete at the Tokyo Games.

What is an Olympics task force? Trump signs order ahead of 2028 LA games to avoid another Paris ‘disgrace'
President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order on Tuesday establishing a task force for the 2028 Summer Olympics and Paralympics, which will be held in Los Angeles during his term. Trump will sign an executive order creating a task force for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. REUTERS/Kent Nishimura/File Photo(REUTERS) 'During his first term, President Trump was instrumental in securing America's bid to host the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles,' said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, adding that the president would work to make the event 'the most exciting and memorable in history.' 'The President considers it a great honor to oversee this global sporting spectacle in his second term,' according to her statement Monday.

Trump has been an enthusiastic booster for major international sporting events scheduled to occur in the US under his watch, boasting about both the Olympics and the 2026 FIFA World Cup. 'I got the World Cup and I have the Olympics and I did it,' Trump said at an event in Iowa in July. Trump tapped a similar task force earlier this year for the World Cup that will be hosted in the US, Canada and Mexico next year, appointing Andrew Giuliani, the son of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani — one of the president's staunchest allies — to be its director. What will the Olympics task force do? That task force was established to coordinate departments and agencies across the federal government to assist in organizing and carrying out the World Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup, a separate tournament that was held earlier this year. Both the Olympics and the World Cup are expected to draw large numbers of spectators — as well as many international tourists — bringing logistical and security challenges. Some Trump administration critics have expressed concerns that his effort to crack down on undocumented immigration and restrict travel from some countries could complicate efforts to host those sporting events. Trump has promised he will facilitate travel and visa access for World Cup teams and supporters. The president has regularly attended premier sporting events since his return to office, including the Super Bowl, Daytona 500, a UFC fight, the NCAA men's wrestling championships and the FIFA Club World Cup final, which took place in New Jersey.

Matthew Tkachuk injury update: Star forward could miss NHL season start and delay Olympic comeback
Matthew Tkachuk's delayed surgery for a torn adductor and sports hernia casts doubt on his availability for the start of the NHL season (Getty Images) Florida Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk has never been one to back down from a challenge—and during the 2025 NHL Playoffs, he proved just how far he'd go to help his team win. Despite nursing a torn adductor muscle and a sports hernia, the 27-year-old powered through the postseason with sheer grit. Injury timeline sparks concern for Panthers and USA Olympic hopes Following the Panthers' Stanley Cup win, all eyes turned to Tkachuk's health. With surgery still pending, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman shared a blunt assessment during his 32 Thoughts podcast: 'I think we're gonna find out at some point here that Tkachuk will miss the start of the season.' He added, 'I think he'll be back in time for the Olympics… and it was always going to be set up that way.' The Mid Summer Check-In Across The NHL | 32 Thoughts The 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano-Cortina are fast approaching, and Team USA will be banking on Tkachuk's return by February. But this optimistic projection hinges on the timeline of his surgery—one that's already been delayed due to his July 19 wedding to longtime partner Ellie Connell. LTIR could impact Panthers roster and cap flexibility NHL insider Evan Renaerts added fuel to the speculation, revealing that 'Matthew Tkachuk has not yet undergone the surgery.' The delayed procedure could land him on Long-Term Injured Reserve (LTIR), a move that carries both risk and reward. While Tkachuk's absence would be a blow to the Panthers' early season form, his $9.5 million cap hit on LTIR could free up space to retain key depth players like Evan Rodrigues. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Susan Boyle Is Now so Thin and Looks Beautiful!

Paris Olympics medallist Aman seals worlds berth
New Delhi: As India's freestyle wrestling goes through a period of transition, Aman Sehrawat has single-handedly kept the flag flying. He was the only Indian wrestler to return with a medal from the Paris Olympics. The 22-year-old will again carry the nation's hopes in the men's section at the upcoming World Championships in Zagreb in September. Paris Olympics bronze medallist Aman Sehrawat (in blue) competes during the World Wrestling Championships trials, in Lucknow. (PTI) A bronze at the Asian Games (2022) and gold at the 2023 Asian Championships ahead of the Paris performance highlight his consistency at major events. On Monday, Aman sailed through the selection trials in Lucknow, securing the berth in the 57kg category, defeating Sumit and Rahul by technical superiority. Another prominent name in the 10-member men's freestyle team is World Championships and Asian Games medallist Deepak Punia, who will compete in the 92kg class. The promising Sujeet Kalkal won the trials in the 65kg category. This will be Sehrawat's maiden appearance at the World Championships but he welcomes the pressure, saying it keeps him motivated. 'The admiration and support I receive give me the energy to perform on the mat, so I'm fine with the pressure. As an Olympic medallist, I understand that people expect me to return with a medal from the World Championships, and I will give my best shot for gold,' Sehrawat told HT. 'I have worked hard on my defence during training stints in Japan and Russia. I got to spar with some strong international wrestlers, which really helped. My leg defence has been a weak area, and I've worked extremely hard to improve it. The worlds will be a good test,' he said. It has been a tough season for Sehrawat. He struggled with injury and took time to return to the mat. 'There was a problem with my knee at the start of the year, so I didn't compete in the trials for the Asian Championships. I wanted to be fully fit before making a comeback. It was important to get some practice before the worlds, so I competed in the Ulaanbaatar Ranking Series.' Sehrawat won bronze at that tournament and was happy with his progress. 'I was competing after almost a year. It was an opportunity to get back on the mat and test my fitness, so I was satisfied with the result.' 'I've been working on my fitness, and today I felt good on the mat. In the 57kg, there are some strong wrestlers — Olympic gold medallist Rei Higuchi of Japan and silver medallist Spencer Lee from the USA. I'll have to see who all are competing at the worlds this time, but I feel I have a good chance,' said Sehrawat, who trains at Delhi's Chhatrasal Stadium. Among the new faces, Sujeet and Udit (61kg) are expected to put up strong performances. Sujeet has shown good form internationally and recently impressed at the ranking series in Hungary, winning the top prize. Udit claimed silver at the Senior Asian Championships and the 2025 Ulaanbaatar Open. The worlds will be a valuable testing ground for these young talents. Team: Aman Sehrawat (57kg), Udit (61kg), Sujeet Kalkal (65kg), Rohit (70kg), Jaideep (74kg), Amit (79kg), Mukul (86kg), Deepak Punia (92kg), Vickey (97kg), Rajat (125kg).
