Three years ago, a one-month suspension for marijuana use kept Sha'Carri Richardson out of the Tokyo Olympic Games after she qualified for the 100-meter dash. This year, Richardson will make her long-awaited Olympics debut.
The 24-year-old Dallas native qualified for the 100-meter sprint event at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games in late June. She won the women's 100-meter final at the United States Olympic trials with a 10.71 time, 0.09 seconds faster than second-place finisher Melissa Jefferson.
Richardson proved herself as one of the best sprinters in the world over the last four years. In addition to her 2021 Olympic-qualifying time, the former LSU sprinter won gold in the 100-meter sprint and 4x100m relay at the 2023 World Championships in Budapest.
She also won the bronze medal in the 200-meter sprint in Budapest, though she failed to qualify for the event at Olympic qualifiers last month.
Here's what to know about Richardson's upcoming Olympics debut.
