Sha'Carri Richardson reflects on her emotional moment during the 2024 Paris Olympics
Sha'Carri Richardson has become an elite athlete and ran the final leg of the 4×100 m relay race event at the 2024 Paris Olympics. She led her team to a gold medal victory. During her interview with Refinery 29 in August 2024, Richardson reflected on her emotional moment at the podium.
"Getting emotional on the podium, that was not a plan, that was not scripted [laughs]. I would honestly say that moment was just a full circle moment, just embracing everything, not even including what had happened in the general moment to make it on the podium, but just embracing the entire journey of being just a human and growing, not even just as an athlete, but as a woman, as a spirit. But I'm so grateful that this is the beginning, because, literally, there's nothing but up from here."
During her collegiate career, Richardson won numerous accolades and represented the LSU Lady Tigers track and field team. She attended college for one year and turned professional a few days after the 2019 NCAA Division I Indoor Championships.
