VIDEO: Cameras Caught Sha’Carri Richardson’s Dirty Move As She Ran Her Opponent Down During 4×100-Meter Relay

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.
