Richardson, who did win gold in the 4×100 relay at the Summer Games, had hoped for an individual storybook triumph at the Olympics because she missed out on Tokyo in 2021 over a positive marijuana test. But she settled for silver against Alfred.
In her first 100-meter race since the Paris Games, Richardson found plenty to celebrate.
“This is probably the funnest race I’ve had all season,” Richardson said, per NBC. “I took that time after the Games to come back, regroup and be able to show you guys the Sha’Carri Richardson y’all know.”
