Being an Ambassador for Women’s Sport, Sha’Carri Richardson Gets Honored By her Youngest Fan

Sha’Carri Richardson now has a little impersonator! As the 23-year-old is taking long strides towards track and field glory, her impact on the game is increasing with each passing day. At such a young age, Richardson has come out as one of the biggest female athletics stars in the world. Such a dominance from the American only means that the future generations would certainly look up to her as an inspiration.

Much on similar lines, a young girl took on the challenge of impersonating her hero. While this little one’s gestures had a heartwarming reception on the internet, it speaks volumes of how much of an influence Richardson has on the younger ones. What was even more interesting was the fact that the little kid dressed up as Richardson at a fashion show!

What would a little girl want to dress up at a fashion show in school? While there can be several feasible options, dressing up as an athlete does not cut. However, for little Kourtney, things are different. As pointed out by her aunt, Brie Jackson on X, Kourtney is an ardent follower of Sha’Carri Richardson. Kourtney looked stunning in the iconic Richardson track and field gear. 

Reflecting on her niece, Brie Johnson commented on her post, “My niece, Kourtney, dressed up as Sha’Carri Richardson for her school’s fashion show🏃‍♀️ She’s been study her videos online. My heart melted. I’m so proud of her ❤️🥹 Kourtney is excited to watch @SHACARRII run in the Olympics this summer 🥇.” Well, the way Sha’Carri Richardson has changed the dynamics of women’s athletics is truly inspiring. 

Richardson- the fastest female in the World Championships 

Richardson has had some heartbreaking moments in her career. Back in 2021, when she was being touted as one of the primary candidates to reign supreme at the Olympics, a THC-positive urine test saw her suspended. This was after the 23-year-old had won the US Olympic Trials. In another instance, Richardson faced a month-long ban for admitting to smoking marijuana ahead of the Tokyo Olympics. However, she did come back, and boy did she come back strong! 

After a grueling 2022, Richardson clinched the 200m bronze at the World Championships clocking 21.92s, which was a PR. However, her day of reckoning was yet to come. In the recently held World Track and Field Championships, Richardson clinched gold in the 100m event.  Running in Budapest, Richardson clocked an impeccable 10.65s, becoming the fastest runner in the history of the tournament. Thus, with such high-level performances coming regularly, more kids like Kourtney are likely to dress up as Sha’Carri Richardson in the future.
