Women’s 100m World Athletics champion Sha’Carri Richardson is prepared and invigorated for the impending Olympic Summer Games, Paris 2024.
In a recent video during the Kentucky Derby on Saturday (4 May), Richardson spoke about her preparation ahead of her conceivable Olympic presentation:
“I am literally training five days out of the week, to the point literally like nine to five in corporate is like my nine to five on the track working out,” the 24-year-old Texan said.
Richardson claims that her meticulous preparation has taken over every aspect of her life on the upcoming games:
“Like down to even how much sleep I’m getting. Literally every little detail counts. It’s worth the hard work, it’s worth the sacrifices. In those moments, it showed that this is why I do what I do.”
Ahead of Tokyo 2020, a suspension over a positive test for THC constrained the track genius to miss the U.S. Olympic Group Preliminaries. This time Richardson is exceptionally centered around coming to the Olympics:
“I ain’t going nowhere, I’m locked in, I’m working…I have no plans of letting life, adversity, any obstacle stop me from being in Paris.”
With a personal best time of 10.65 seconds, which she clocked at the World Championships in Budapest last year, the American sprinter is the fifth-fastest woman in history over the 100m. But to qualify for Paris 2024, she must make the US team at the trials scheduled for 21 to 30 June in Eugene, Oregon.

Meanwhile, American rapper Cardi B shared that the French capital “is one of her favourite places in the world” and that “when the Olympics is in a lit city, it changes the mood.” The rapper is also looking forward to watching Richardson in action:
“I will come just for you… and shopping!”
The 100m women’s final at Paris 2024 will take place on 3 August.
