Hey Athletic Fans,

Day two of the World Ultimate Championship in Budapest wrapped up with a familiar storyline: Sha'Carri Richardson came up short again. The American star clocked a season-best time in the semis before doing it again in the final.

It wasn’t enough, though, as she was outshone by a Team USA rival in what's likely her final race of the 2026 season.

All that and more, right here in Essentially Athletics' Day 2 coverage of the World Athletics Ultimate Championship.
