Reigning World 100m champion Sha'Carri Richardson has massive pressure to deliver at the Olympic Games since all eyes will be on her to reclaim the 100m title they last won in 1996.
Athletes from across the globe are gearing up for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France with the hope of making their nations proud and Sha’Carri Richardson is no exception.
The American will once again lock horns with her Jamaican rivals with the hope of upsetting them like she did at the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary.
Richardson was in a class of her own, flooring the duo of Shericka Jackson and Shelly-Anne Fraser-Pryce to second and third place respectively in the women’s 100m final.

However, the reigning World 100m champion will have more weight on her shoulders to win a gold medal. All eyes will be on her to bring back the glory to the USA and she will certainly be under the pump.
Gail Devers was the last American to win the 100m gold at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta and all Americans will rely on Richardson to change the narrative.
Since then, Jamaicans have dominated the short distance and the current champion in both the 100m and 200m is from Jamaica, Elaine Thompson-Herah.
The Jamaican trio and Richardson are yet to open their season and they have been sharing clips of their training with the hope of making history at the global bonanza.
Richardson will face an uphill task, going up against the Jamaicans who have for long tormented Americans when it comes to global championships. However, the narrative might change this season as Richardson has proven to be a force to reckon with since last season.
She came with a bang and cemented her place and this being a memorable return to the Olympic Games, the 23-year-old will certainly look to make an impact. During the delayed 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, she could not compete after being banned by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU).
