Sha'Carri Richardson expressed that her definition of success remains unchanged despite coming second in the Paris Olympics.
Coming second at the Paris Olympic Games was not a disappointment for American sprint queen Sha’Carri Richardson.
The reigning world 100m champion was clearly a favourite to win and the commentators made their bets clear, chanting Richardson’s name from the heats to the final. However, reality might have kicked in for Sha’Carri in the women’s 100m semifinal when Julien Alfred beat her.
Going into the final, the world 200m bronze medallist was hopeful of emerging top but failed to live up to the billing. Alfred carried the day with her dominant win as Richardson came in second. Melissa Jefferson rounded up the podium.
