2 Months After Disappearing From The Internet, Sha’Carri Richardson Caught Challenging Her Inner Equestrian Kid

The  2023 World Athletics Championship has acted as a resolute springboard for the Paris Olympics. On account of the athletic displays, we already got a taste of what the US athletes will be bringing to the table in July. Among the icons who made headlines was the name of the 23-year-old Sha’Carri Richardson, who is a force to be reckoned with.

We’re all familiar with her feisty personality, and her irresistible track talent. Walking home with two golds (100m and 4x100m relay) from the WAC wasn’t enough. Her incredible speed left the fastest women trailing behind. Two months into 2024, we last glimpsed her 7 weeks ago, when she went up on her YouTube Channel Sha’Carri Richardson & More. It looks like the reigning champion is dabbling in cross-sporting overtures as well now, much to everyone’s ecstasy, and stunned them with her whereabouts.

Sha’Carri Richardson hits the waters with a twist

A while ago, as per Richardson’s Instagram, she had been on a vacation. Probably to the seaside, her pictures reflect peak elation when the waves hitting made her jump like a kid. Posting a throwback of that trip, an Instagram page named Sha’Carri Richardson FP has posted two pictures of her on a gorgeous equine. Captioned “Queen“, the FP recognized and acknowledged the real essence of Queen Sha’Carri. Equine therapy or staying in touch with horses has several health benefits. Jostled by the surrounding bucolic environs, she seemed to be fluttering in happiness akin to a child that’s found its favorite candy. This change of scenery seems to be keeping her in good stead for this year’s ultimate showdown.

Being a part of such adrenaline-fuelled activities takes a toll on the health oftentimes. So sporting phenoms, who always feel the pressure of making winning strides, enjoy occasional getaways too. And if it’s equine-assisted, there’s no question of backing out at all. Since she was also in touch with the clear waters, her mental health is inarguably in check ahead of the biggest event of the year. What’s in the offing for her though?

Paris in mind, waiting for the grind

When she was ruled out of the U.S. Track & Field Olympic roster on account of the 30-day suspension because of THC traces in her body, the then 21-year-old saw her dreams crash in the wink of an eye. Despite a blazing Olympic Trials, her plans were thwarted. But her cast-iron heart never lost hope. She had issued, “Paris 2024, history will be made.”
