Follow along for the latest updates from today’s Olympic action. SAINT-DENIS, France (AP) — Sha’Carri Richardson has navigated plenty of roadblocks in her pursuit of Olympic glory. Some self-imposed.

Beating others in a race from here to there is what Richardson does for a living. And with one thrilling dash down the final stretch in Stade de France, the gold that had been just out of reach for so long finally became tangible.
