Richardson sets a new world record in the 200 m flying start
Matthew Richardson broke nine seconds in the 200 m flying start for the first time in history on Thursday, setting a new world record of 8.941 seconds. The British racer, who switched nationalities from Australia last year, had set a world record time in 2024 before it was surpassed by Harrie Lavreysen of the Netherlands.
Now, Richardson is back on top of the record books after riding to the first ever sub-9-second mark on a track in Konya, Turkey.
