So we have all types of conversation."

In the same conversation, Richardson also talked about the hard work she did for the 2024 Summer Games.

"I know that the hard work I put in not even just physically on the track, as well as mentally and emotionally, to grow into the mature young lady that I am today and I'm going to continue to grow into...is a full fledged, surreal moment for me to actually embrace and be able to show to the world."
