I mean difference between 4.1 and 2.0 m/s(2.1) and time difference 10.63 and 10.57(0.06)
maybe more of a difference 0.0 to 2.1 then 2.0 to 4.1? i wonder how that works...eventually, you get to the point where your legs can only move so fast, and the wind is not making you THAT MUCH faster.

True.
The reason why the wind speed in a 100m sprint would have a greater difference from 0.0 meters/second to 2.1 meters/second than between 2.0 meters/second to 4.1 meters/second is due to the physics of running. As Richardson (or any other athlete) runs, they encounter air resistance, which slows them down. When there is a tailwind, such as in the case of wind speeds between 2.0 meters/second to 4.1 meters/second, the athlete experiences a boost in speed due to reduced air resistance. However, this boost in speed reaches a limit as the athlete approaches their maximum velocity.
When wind speeds are between 0.0 meters/second to 2.1 meters/second, the effect of the wind is much more pronounced as it provides a greater boost in speed than when wind speeds are higher. This is because the athlete is still accelerating and has not yet reached their maximum velocity, so the impact of the tailwind is more significant. As the athlete approaches their maximum velocity, the impact of the tailwind decreases, and the difference in speed between wind speeds of 2.0 meters/second to 4.1 meters/second becomes less significant.
In short, the effect of the wind on Richardson's speed would be most pronounced when she was accelerating and had not yet reached her maximum velocity. As she approach her maximum velocity, the impact of the wind would become less significant, and the difference in speed between wind speeds of 2.0 meters/second to 4.1 meters/second would become smaller.
Great run! All she has to do is remain focused and she'll improve on this performance. At her best she'll be in medal contention at the World Championships.
Looks like she has the cycle dialed back in again.
Please put a little more thought into your post! Richardson has had her issues the last 2 years; however, I think most people would agree talent or capability has never been the problem. This girl ran 10.75 at age 18, minus the wind today, this 10.57 is not even a PR for her. Or, perhaps you think it is not possible for someone to cleanly run close to their PR from age 18, or-perhaps you think she was dirty as an 18-year-old college freshman when she ran 10.75. Drugs is certainty a reality in our sport, but it is not fair or necessary to just through that out there as casually as you do.
This really adds some drama to the Botswana event on the 29th.
SAFP will make her debut, and Richardson is scheduled as well. You have to give Richardson an advantage in terms of race fitness; she seems in top form But SAPF is so good and so experienced, a victory for her in this event would not surprise. Also, Richardson can sometimes self destruct mentally, but she seems to be in a great place right now.
This is a huge psychological moment for Richardson. A victory over SAPF would really let her know she is back as good as ever, and send a message to the Jamaican sprinters, as well.
Im not sure if ETH or Jackson are entered, but Richardson’s rebound makes the women’s 100 that much better going forward.
Yeah, way too early in the season to be running that fast.. Unless she takes at least a month's time out at some point to rebuild her speed and tenacity, she will not be contender at the World's , a la Butch Reynolds who in 1988 ran a 400m world record of 43.29 early in the season but could later not recreate the form at the Olympics.
