Sometimes the rivalry stays in and out of the playground and sometimes the rivals become best friends. The greatest example can be seen in tennis, as two of the best players of all time Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal share the purest bond. A similar incident can be seen with track and field American sprinters, Sha’Carri Richardson [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/shacarri-richardson/] and Aleia Hobbs. Richardson who has one of the fastest records of 10.57 seconds in women’s 100 meters and Hobbs, the global medalist, have shared the pitch as opponents in LA Grand Prix and still managed to remain close friends. However, fans are expecting to see them in Paris Olympics 2024.

ALEIA HOBBS RECEIVES AN EMOTIONAL MESSAGE FROM SHA’CARRI Hobbs shared a post on her Instagram featuring a picture for each month of her son’s one-year birthday. The video was reposted by Sha’Carri on her Instagram story wishing Amir a happy birthday. “@aleiabitofthis HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIL SOLDIER”, wrote Sha’Carri, to which Hobbs replied, “He said thankyou teetee” Hobbs keeps her Instagram feed filled with her son’s goofy pictures and videos. Hobbs’ son Amir was born on 15th June 2022. Talking about the adoption process, she said to NBC, ”We decided to talk about it and see, but it was an instant yes”. She added, ”I didn’t even know, but there’s so many kids who actually need homes. I’m all for it. I’m probably going to adopt more, honestly.” Hobbs and Richardson were at Louisiana State University (LSU) together, and have remained close friends since then. Both athletes are expected to take part in the Paris Games next year.

The net worth of American sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson is estimated to be between $1 million to $5 million. Her salary ranges between $45,000 and $50,000. The major chunk of her wealth is from her earnings as a track and field champion and various endorsements with elite brands like Nike, Beats, and Apple Music.
<h2><strong>Sha'Carri Richardson’s Family and Early Life</strong></h2>
Sha'Carri was born on 25th March 2000 in Dallas, Texas. She had a rather choppy start to life after her mother abandoned her. Her grandmother had an instrumental role in her upbringing and motivated her to be an athlete. With no siblings in the picture, the athlete was raised by her grandmother, Betty Harp, and her aunt.

In 2021, a week before the Japan Olympics trail began, her biological mother passed away. The track and field star was oblivious to her mother's demise until she was asked about it by a reporter. She doesn't have siblings.

Richardson got enrolled at Louisiana State University and was a part of the LSU Lady Tigers track and field team. Her ability on the track was clear since she was young. Hence, she started participating in track and field competitions in her teenage years, and in 2016 she competed in her first race at the US Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) Junior Olympics where she stood atop the podium in the race track event of her age group. Standing at around 5'1", the sprinter has a unique sprinting style.

Sha'Carri Richardson's victory in the 100-meter race in the AAU Junior Olympics in 2016 elevated her career. After that, she won the Emerging Athlete Award at the USA Track &amp; Field Junior Championships in 2017. More success followed at the 2017 Pan American U20 Athletics Championships where she won the gold medal as well.

During her LSU career, the athlete entered the 2019 NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships and reached the finals. The real breakthrough came when she won the 100-meter race at the 2019 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Additionally, she finished in second place in the 200-meter race.

Both the races saw her create the world under-20 records for the sprints. Finally, after her first year, she went on to become a professional in a bid to get selected for the Tokyo Olympics 2020. However, just before her much-awaited debut at the Olympics, she was handed a ban by the World Anti-Doping Agency for doping <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-olympics-news-track-and-field-news-should-have-never-tried-to-poison-me-shacarri-richardson-exposes-close-ones-publicly-in-a-bold-statement/" target="_self" rel="noopener">due to which she missed the event</a>. After that, the sprinter returned for the Nike Prefontaine Classic Meet and finished fourth in the race. She set a time of 10.80 seconds.

Her arrival on the big stage came when she created the sixth-fastest time in women's 100-meter history. She set a time of 10.72 seconds and coincidently, became the fourth-fastest American sprinter in the nation's history. The dreams of becoming an international athlete became fulfilled after she set a time of 10.86 in the United States Olympic Trials.

In 2023, Richardson clocked the 100 m world lead and met the record to beat Shericka Jackson and Dina Asher-Smith at the 2023 Diamond League season in the Qatari capital, Doha. Richardson, who <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-olympics-news-track-and-field-newsstay-quiet-and-put-in-the-work-track-world-reacts-to-shacarri-richardsons-first-win-of-the-season/" target="_self" rel="noopener">has a personal best of 10.72</a> clocked <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-olympics-news-track-and-field-news-love-this-despite-rivalry-shacarri-richardsons-rare-heartwarming-moment-with-jamaican-competitor-goes-viral/" target="_self" rel="noopener">a jaw-dropping wind-assisted 10.57 in Miramar Invitational</a> - the third fastest all-conditions time in world history.

In July, Richardson secured the title of US national champion in the 100-meter sprint event by triumphing in the women's 100m final with a time of 10.82 seconds. This victory also earned her qualification for the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest.

Richardson achieved her inaugural major individual title on the international stage on the third day of the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest. She clinched the gold medal in the women's 100-meter sprint event, setting a championship record with an impressive time of 10.65 seconds. This was followed by a bronze in the women's 200 m final in 21.92 seconds.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9"><strong>Sha’Carri Richardson’s Personal and Dating Life</strong></h2>
Though Sha'Carri Richardson is presently not dating anyone, she was in a relationship with Jamaican track and field athlete Janeek Brown. However, after almost a year of dating, Richardson and Brown parted ways.

Pulling off the curtains from her break up with Brown, Richardson took to her Instagram handle and penned, "<em>I was in a relationship with a Jamaican athlete that never cared about me from jump. I was abused and stole from yet protected her from the judgement of her country &amp; family while they dragged me. I had to deal with homophobic and so much more that I'm still healing from</em>".
<h2><strong>Sha’Carri Richardson’s Controversies</strong></h2>
Richardson's life took a different turn when she turned to marijuana as a coping mechanism for her mother's death. It led to her exclusion from the Olympics. She was suspended for one month after failing the doping test following her Olympic qualifying 100-meter race victory at the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials in Eugene, Oregon, on June 19, 2021.
