Richardson has made a triumphant return to the Olympics this year after a one-month suspension for testing positive for THC left her out of contention in Tokyo in 2021. Since then, she won a gold medal in the 100-meter event at the 2023 world championships and qualified for the Paris games at the U.S. Olympic trials in late June with a time of 10.71, 0.09 seconds faster than second-place finisher Melissa Jefferson.
The 24-year-old Dallas native and Louisiana State University runner has emerged as one of the stars on the U.S. Olympic team this year and a favorite to win her events.
Here's when Sha'Carri Richardson will be running at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
