Warning shots have already been fired at Sha'Carri Richardson and Shelly-Anne Fraser-Pryce with the rise of Polish sprinter Ewa Swoboda who has been making headlines lately.

Her main focus this season is to bag a medal at the event since she has never won an Olympic medal in her athletics career.

She was in action at the ORLEN Copernicus Cup in Torun, Poland, on Tuesday night competing in the 1500m and managed to finish fifth.
