Sha’Carri Richardson completed her redemption tale with silver, not gold.
Three years after being declared ineligible after a positive test for cannabis, Richardson finished in second at the 100-meter sprint with a 10.87-second time, with Saint Lucia’s Julien Alfred winning the island nation’s first Olympic medal with a 10-72-second sprint for gold at the rain-soaked Stade de France.
Two-time gold medalist Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce surprisingly pulled out of the competition before her semifinal while Elaine Thompson-Herah, who won gold in Tokyo, did not compete at all.
