Sha’Carri Richardson triumphed at the 2024 Paris Olympics, earning silver at the 100-meter final after she was benched from the Tokyo Olympics in 2021
Sha’Carri Richardson triumphed at the 2024 Paris Olympics, securing her first Olympic medal in the 100-meter final race on Saturday, August 3.
“I just want to take responsibility for my actions, I know what I did,” she said on the Today show at the time. “I know what I’m supposed to do and what I’m allowed not to do, and I still made that decision. But I’m not making an excuse or looking for any empathy in my case.” Richardson asked for understanding at the time. “As much as I’m disappointed, I know that when I step on the track I don’t represent myself, I represent a community that has shown me great support, great love,” she said. “I’m human. We’re human. … Don’t judge me because I am human. I’m you, I just happen to run a little faster.”
Richardson emphasized that her 2021 debacle would not define her as she prepared to finally compete in the Olympics, noting, “I’m not back, I’m better.”
