Pretty stupid’: Sports community defends Sha’Carri Richardson over ‘bizarre’ post
Richardson was a liability on and off the track. Most of us first saw her when she won the 100 meters at the U.S. Olympic Trials in 2020. And it wasn’t just her speed that caught everyone’s attention, it was her confidence, too. In an interview after the race, I was able to forget his bold statement, “I want the world to know that I am this girl.” Even when a positive drug test hindered her from the Olympic game in Tokyo, she faced it with a blessing and showed her not only fast, but also difficult. Now in 2024, she has proven why she is that girl.
Look at what’s trending now!
Shakari is more than just an athlete, she has the real deal vibe. Raised in Dallas with her grandmother Betty Harp, she has been making waves since 2018. The best part is that it’s not her fans who love her, it’s her own biggest fan – herself, who says: I love my aura. I love my energy. I love my heart. I love my thoughts. I love myself.” Now that the 2024 Paris Olympics are over, she’s out there proving herself as one of the best athletes in the world.
Recently, Track Spice’s post on X asked people to “name one thing you like and one thing you don’t like about Shakari Richardson.” This did not please her fans, especially after the Paris Olympics. Even Shakari may have missed out on the gold medal in the 100m final at the Stade de France with a time of 10.87 seconds – an achievement nonetheless – but St Lucia’s Julian Alfred took first place.
