Sha’Carri Richardson qualifies for Paris Olympics in 100-meter, runs fastest time in 2024
Sha’Carri Richardson finally is going to the Olympics as the fastest woman in the United States. And she earned the spot with flair, running the fastest time in the world.
Richardson, the defending world champion, ran a 10.71 to take first place at the Olympic Trials.
“I cannot wait to go to Paris and represent,” Richardson told NBC after the race.

Richardson is being billed as one of the biggest stars of the Olympics, which start next month in Paris. However, she needed to make the team to step into that role. This time three years ago, she won the Trials, only to see that opportunity disappear when she tested positive for marijuana. She was suspended for four weeks. The suspension included the track competition at the Tokyo Olympics.
She pulled herself up from that devastating mistake and won last year’s world title. Now, with the time she ran Saturday, she should be considered the favorite to take gold over the Jamaican women.
