After already finishing with a silver medal, can Sha’Carri Richardson still leave the 2024 Paris Olympics with a gold? It’s all down to how she and her team perform in her last event.
Richardson, the 24-year-old sprinter from Dallas, finished second in the women’s 100-meter final on Aug. 3, finishing just behind Julien Alfred of Saint Lucia, who won the country’s first Olympic medal in any event. This is Richardson’s first time at the Olympics after a suspension kept her from the 2021 games in Tokyo.
Silver was Richardson’s first ever Olympic medal, but she still has a chance to win another this week with her teammates in the women’s 4 x 100-meter relay.
Here’s when Sha’Carri Richardson will be running in her final event at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
