by Having already won a silver medal, can Sha’Carri Richardson still leave the 2024 Paris Olympics with a gold medal? It all depends on how she and her team perform in their final event.
Richardson, the 24-year-old sprinter from Dallas, finished second in the women’s 100-meter final on Aug. 3, just behind Julien Alfred of St. Lucia, who won the country’s first Olympic medal in any event. This is Richardson’s first time competing in the Olympics after a suspension kept her out of the 2021 Games in Tokyo.
The silver was Richardson’s first Olympic medal, but she still has a chance to win another this week with her teammates in the women’s 4×100-meter relay.
Here’s when Sha’Carri Richardson will race in her final event at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
