Sha'Carri Richardson list of Olympic medals

Sha'Carri Richardson events

Richardson will attempt to end almost two decades of Jamaican dominance of the women’s 100m event at the Olympics with Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce having won the title in 2008 and 2012, before Elaine Thompson-Herah stormed to victory in 2016 and 2020.

She could follow in the footsteps of Gail Devers, who was the last American woman to take gold in the blue riband event.

The 24-year-old will also anchor Team USA’s women’s 4x100m relay team.

She did not qualify for the 200m, though, coming fourth in the final at the 2024 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon.

Richardson took gold in both the individual and sprint relay events at the 2023 World Championships in Budapest and looks to have a good chance of repeating that feat in France.
