Shara Carrie Richardson and Shelley-Rending Prais have been refused to enter the warm-up area due to a change in the rule that they were not properly informed before their arrival.
The World 100m Sha \ ‘Carri Richardson and the legendary Shelly-Ann-Prère-Personne, with the greatest shock of their lives, when they were denied work on the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, collided. Videos circulating online showed Fraser-Pryce and Richardson being held up against a gate and prevented from entering the warm-up area simply because they had not arrived on the team bus.

According to reports, the two are not staying in the athletics village, as they are staying in separate hotels to focus as much as possible on the events taking place during the Olympics. Therefore, they will not arrive at the stadium on a team bus.

“She said the rules changed yesterday,” Fraser-Pryce explained to the bus driver when he arrived at the stadium. “Why have they changed the rules and said nothing? So now they’re asking all the players who don’t stay in the village for whatever reason, ‘You can’t come here’?” Yesterday we went through that gate, went through all the security and everything was fine… Crazy. ”
