Sha?Carri Richardson graced Los Angeles yesterday with her presence. The Dallas-born world champion was in the city for a very special occasion with Christian Coleman. The latter is rumored to be the new love interest in life. Their torrid affair is supposed to have begun in Budapest during the World Athletics Championships. Richardson and Coleman were invited by Team U.S.A. to be a part of an epic photoshoot session. The photoshoot took place at the NBC Universal Studios Stage 16, where many track and field athletes assembled in a star-studded affair. Sha?Carri Richardson, no doubt, dazzled before the camera and struck several strong poses, including one where she showed off her long, glitzy nails. USATF posted a video from the shoot while her alma mater LSU Track and Field uploaded a few shots from the photoshoot on X with the post, ?.@itskerrii at todays Team USA shoot?.

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, on the other hand, chose to do something different on November 17. The 2022 hurdling world title holder wore a black top and skirt paired with a black pair of leggings and a white hat. Together they gave the complete Jackie Kennedy look to the iconic track and field star. Team U.S.A. posted the picture on their X page and quipped, ?Fit for France?. Javelin standout Kara Winger glowed in front of the camera, wearing the blue team jacket, but she marked the occasion with an extraordinary piece of jewelry on her thumb. The festivities took a delightful turn as one discus world champion grooved to the music, eliciting laughter from all.
