They wait eagerly to watch the Dallas native blaze past her rivals in her dolled-up avatar with dramatic lashes, colorful braids, and big nails. She is the closest known successor to another track star in American athletics who once held the title of being the fastest woman in the world.

Sha?Carri Richardson and Florence Griffith Joyner both have a penchant for flair and speed. Both women are known for their glam and colorful outfits in the track and field world. Now, Richardson has received an epic honor that will take her fame to astronomical heights. To mark this special day, the track star went full diva and solidified the intergenerational similarities with her predecessor.

Sha?Carri Richardson?s nail fashion

As the world admires Sha?Carri Richardson for her impeccable season at the World Championships and Diamond League, Flo-Jo?s memory still remains as strong. More than her speed, the fans remember her flashy outfits and, above all, her nails. She used her nails as a signature style and also revealed she likes to grow them out. In an interview with Essence, Joyner had said, ?I don?t know, I?ve just always been attracted to having long nails, and I wanted to decorate them?. Most people see the deceased track and field legend?s legacy continuing in Sha?Carri Richardson. That connection was bolstered after the 100-meter world champion revealed her long nails on an Instagram story yesterday. The post was made by nail artist ?tonniebaeee? with the caption, ?Nail Flickkkk?.

The caption also contained the heart-eyes and laughing face emojis. The picture showed a hand with long nails ending in crescent moon shapes and a bejeweled flower motif. Although the nails were enough to captivate the attention of fans, the fingers held a gold medal from the 2023 World Athletics Championships. The artist also tagged Sha?Carri Richardson on the post, but it was superfluous at this point since the medal was the biggest identifier. The track and field icon adorned herself to celebrate a big achievement in her career.
