Lane Nine to World Champion

Sha'Carri Richardson missed the Tokyo Olympics after a suspension and returned with the message I'm not back, I'm better. At the 2023 World Championships in Budapest, she reached the 100 meter final and was drawn in lane nine, an outside lane that rarely produces winners.

She stormed to gold in a championship record of 10.65 seconds, then won 4x100 relay gold the same week. Her bold style, long nails and colorful hair made her one of the most recognizable sprinters in the world.

At the Paris 2024 Olympics she won silver in the 100 meters behind Saint Lucia's Julien Alfred, and then anchored the United States to 4x100 relay gold, a powerful Olympic debut.
