Neita Claims Victory Over Richardson at Suzhou Diamond League.

At the Suzhou Diamond League, British sprinter Daryll Neita secured a win over world 100m champion Sha'Carri Richardson in the women's 200m event.

In her first outdoor individual race of the season, 27-year-old Daryll Neita ran the women's 200m in 22.62 seconds, securing a clear victory over Anavia Battle, who finished in 22.99 seconds.

Sha'Carri Richardson, another American sprinter who won bronze in the world 200m last year, came in third with a time of 23.11 seconds.

Neita expressed her joy at winning, saying, "I came here praying and hoping for the win. To come out here and win it, in a decent time, in such a strong field, I feel really confident going forward."
