Sha’Carri Richardson Finally Breaks Her Silence On The Dirty Move She Pulled While Running Down Her Opponents During Women’s 4x100m Relay At The Olympics

“I looked over and I just knew that no matter what was going on, there was nobody that I was going to allow — even myself — to be in front of me. I know that sounds crazy, but I was in that lane and feeling like I’m always my biggest competitor [so I had to] leave my best on the track.”

We Hope Sha’Carri Richardson Is Lying

We prefer the initial version in which everyone assumed it was a cocky staredown. The story is a lot cooler that way.

We don’t have to take her word for it either. We could continue to believe it’s exactly what we thought initially – maybe she’s just trying to avoid the Noah Lyles-type hate by playing the event down.

Of course, she has a right to gloat, given that she is one of the world’s fastest women, even if it’s before the finish line.
