Sha’Carri Richardson Leaves Tokyo Doping to Dust After Clocking 10.71 for Paris Olympics Qualification
After her doping ban in 2021, which caused her to miss the Tokyo Olympics, Sha’Carri Richardson shared her resilient mindset: “This is just one game. I’m 21. I’m very young. Unlike most, I have plenty of games left in me to compete in, and I have plenty of talent that backs me up because everything I do comes from me naturally. After my sanction is up, I’ll be back and ready to compete.”
True to her word, she has done just that three years later at the very same place on June 22, 2024, Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon. She clocked in at 10.71 seconds, taking the World Lead, and securing her spot in the Paris Olympics with an impressive performance in the qualifiers.
Melissa Jefferson finished second with a time of 10.80 seconds, and Twanisha Terry took third place with 10.89 seconds in the Women’s 100m Final at the USATF Olympic Trials. In the Women’s 100m Final of the USATF Olympic Trials, lane assignments were as follows: J. Prandini, T. Terry, A. Hobbs, T. Clark, M. Jefferson, S. Richardson, T. Davis, C. Hill, and A. Battle.
Today, Sha’Carri has risen from the shadows of her Tokyo disappointment to shine brightly once more, securing her spot in the Paris Olympics with a stunning performance. Her journey from a Tokyo doping ban to the Paris Olympic qualification is a testament to her mantra of “I’m not back, I’m better.” After relentless hard work, Sha’Carri Richardson has now become an Olympian.
