Sha'Carri Richardson fulfills her 'wildest' childhood dream in heartwarming moment with 'Big Momma'

Sha'Carri Richardson fulfilled her childhood dream, sharing a beautiful picture with her grandmother, and celebrating Mother's Day in Paris. Sha'Carri's grandmother, Betty Harp, has been one of the key figures behind the athlete's successful career.

Betty Harp, called 'Big Momma' by Sha'Carri, is also considered one of the biggest supporters of Dallas native sprinter. Sha'Carri lost her mother in 2021 just before the Olympic trials. It was Betty and Sha'Carri's aunt, Shay Richardson, who helped the athlete grieve through her loss and come back as a stronger athlete.

Sha'Carri shared a heartwarming reaction to a moment she had been waiting for a long time on her Instagram story. She posted a picture of her grandmother enjoying a coffee outside on Paris streets and captioned it:

"This picture is my childhood wildest dream come true"

Sha'Carri Richardson shares a special bond with her family. Betty Harp and Shay Richardson have been significant in instilling strong values, character and confidence. The Olympic medalist started running at the tender age of nine, and it was Shay Richardson, a former athlete herself, who realised Sha'Carri's potential and became her first coach.

Meanwhile, the American track and field star signed up with a new sports, music and entertainment company called Wasserman on Monday. Wasserman will be representing Sha'Carri Richardson, focusing on creating the athlete into a global brand.
