Sha’Carri Richardson made sure to remind people that she is still that girl with her performance in the women’s 4×100-meter relay.
Team USA’s women’s relay team will compete in the 4×100-meter final all because Richardson showed why she was made for the big stage.
Sha’Carri Richardson bailed the women out from a near collapse on Thursday in the Olympic 4×100 relay. She overcame a German runner in the anchor leg to help the Americans win their heat and advance to the gold-medal race.
Amid that run, Richardson could be seen staring at Rebekka Haase as she quickly passed her up on the track.
Richardson was about three steps behind after receiving the baton from Gabby Thomas, but her world-class speed made up the difference caused by a misconnection on the exchange with Twanisha Terry and Thomas.
The U.S. won in 41.94 seconds, .19 ahead of the Germans, per Bleacher Report.
This is Richardson’s first Olympic games after she was suspended for a month, which prevented her from racing in Tokyo in 2021.
It turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as she qualified for this summer’s games with a time of 10.71 at the U.S. Olympic trials in late June.
Sha’Carri Richardson Has Second Chance To Bring Home A Gold Medal
Sha’Carri Richardson may have won silver in her main event at the 2024 Paris Olympics, but she still has one more chance to return home with a gold medal.
The 24-year-old from Dallas is considered one of the fastest sprinters in the world. She performed well in the women’s 100-meter race, although she lost to Julien Alfred of Saint Lucia, who won her country’s first Olympic medal.
No team came into the qualifying race with a more loaded lineup than the U.S. women, so the Gold medal is theirs to lose.
