47 medalists who accounted for 62 medals in Tokyo will descend on Eugene, Oregon, this weekend for the Prefontaine Classic.
The intrigue: After missing the Olympics due to a marijuana suspension, American star Sha'Carri Richardson will race against all three Jamaican medal winners in the 100 meters.
- Richardson will also run alongside Allyson Felix and Gabby Thomas in the women's 200 meters.
- Other big names include Athing Mu (800 meters), Rai Benjamin (200 meters) and Ryan Crouser (shot put).
The last word: "I just want to let y'all know, this'll be the last time the Olympics don't see Sha'Carri Richardson," said Richardson following her suspension. "And I feel sorry for anybody who lines up against me when I come back."
