The women’s 200m produced a massive upset as Australian teenager Torrie Lewis, running from lane nine, whizzed by US star Sha’Carri Richardson and won in 22.96 (-0.4m/s) to Richardson’s 22.99. USA’s Tamara Clark was next best with 23.01. Richardson, who television cameras caught stroking her new hairdo in a shortlived victory pose, summed up her race. “I felt really good as a season opener,” said Richardson. “I know what I need to work on, and I’m excited for the next meet.”
Lewis was shocked by her win. “My goal was to hang on as long as I could,” she said. “I didn’t even notice I’d beaten them until I saw the replay and I was like, ‘holy crap.’”
