American sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson missed out on the final of the women’s 200-metres at the US Track and Field Championships in Oregon by one-hundredth of a second.
She finished fourth in her heat with a time of 22.56 seconds – 0.01 seconds behind Madison Whyte, who took the last qualifying spot.
She receives a bye to the World Championships in September in the 100m as defending champion but her hopes of competing in the 200m are over.
Richardson, 100m silver medallist at the Paris 2024 Olympics, ends a turbulent week after being arrested over a domestic violence allegation.
The 25-year-old was detained last Sunday at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport following an altercation with boyfriend and fellow Team USA star Christian Coleman.
