The 24-year-old runner from Dallas has had a long road to the Olympics, after a one-month suspension for marijuana use three years ago kept her out of the Tokyo Olympic games. This year, Richardson qualified for the 100-meter sprint event at the United States Olympic trials in late June, winning the final with a 10.71 time, 0.09 seconds faster than second-place finisher Melissa Jefferson.
Although this is her first Olympics, Richardson has previously proved herself on the world stage, winning gold in the 100-meter sprint and 4x100m relay at the 2023 World Championships in Budapest.
Here's when you can watch Sha'Carri Richardson compete at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
