For Sha’Carri Richardson, every day is not a track and field day; some days are just special when she takes a dip in romanticism. No matter if it comes in a penultimate moment, just before the Paris Olympics. The 24-year-old is right now in the French capital, ready to set the Parisian tracks on fire.

Her occasional snaps from the tracks showcase the efforts she has been putting in to make the occasion memorable. But in the meantime, her fresh post on social media proved that her human self is loving all the brief moments that are connecting her to her goal—making the days large. 

Today, her Instagram stories showed that the Dallas-born athlete had received a bouquet, ornamented with a small replica of a teddy bear and a card. Notably, the teddy bear’s replica was wearing a golden-colored medal around its neck, and the card faintly flaunted lines like “Love of my life” printed in red. The next shared story expressed the occasion as National Girlfriend’s Day. So, is there any secret love interest for Sha’Carri? No one can guess when you’re in the City of Love! 

However, Sha’Carri has yet to address dating someone. In the past, several names have taken the round, and among those, Christian Coleman came out heavily as her rumored boyfriend. But again, nothing concrete has ever taken place, although both Sha’Carri Richardson and Christian Coleman are known to be outspoken. Furthermore, Coleman’s recent change of training facility has made the fans take more interest in connecting the dots. 

This time, in the US Olympic track and field trials, Sha’Carri and Coleman were not seen together. The outcomes of the trials were also diagonally opposite for them. While the former clinched the Paris Olympic berth in the 100m event, the latter failed to bag that. But the duo landed their selections in the women’s and men’s relay pools.

So that selection made Christian Coleman come to Paris. In the meantime, for a better result in the French town, the former world champion took advantage of Dennis Mitchell’s coaching facility, the same where SCR trains. So do these help in binding the two athletes to the same thread? Their stories at the bank of the Danube might say something about this. 

Would the Paris witness Sha’Carri Richardson confirm her bonding? 

Coming from a humble background, Sha’Carri Richardson never holds herself off when praising relationships. Her emotional bonding with her grandmother, Betty Harp, has made her story far more appealing, not just to the athletic fans, but also to the individuals who are trying to find ground under their feet. Rather, her statements and choices have made her take an equal position away from the track as well. Christian Coleman has backed this position. 

Just before the Xiamen Diamond League, the 28-year-old garlanded the reigning world champion with so much praise. Taking a stand for her wholesome persona, Coleman went ahead, saying, “She is special, and I think she is someone who is at the forefront of women empowerment and women sports taking it to a whole different level.” After the Budapest World Athletics Championships last year, this was the first time Coleman appeared, siding with Sha’Carri. 

In Budapest last year, the 100m stalwarts came so close to each other that the media outlets and paparazzi started to focus on their personal affairs. One such scoop came in as the headline showed, “Sha’carri Richardson and Christian Coleman SPOTTED getting awfully cozy and together everywhere in Budapest!!”

And how can one forget Christian Coleman rushing to Sha’Carri Richardson and lifting her on the track after winning the mixed 4x100m relay event in Budapest? The story continues as the gap between them has shortened with time. So is it Christian Coleman who has sent her the bouquet today, or is it any other individual? We wait for Sha’Carri to shed light on this.
