“I’m not back; I’m better,” announced Sha’Carri Richardson after winning the 100m race at the US National in Eugene. The athlete has been doing justice to her words since coming back after missing out on the Tokyo Olympics 2021. She was barred from taking part in the Olympics because of a failed drug test, along with facing a month-long suspension. However, this was not enough to crush the unwavering determination of the 2x world champion. 

Consequently, she emerged as a force that needs to be reckoned with after winning the 100-meter sprint at the 2023 track and field worlds in Budapest. Besides this, she concluded the race in just 10.65 seconds to clinch her first world title. However, after a successful season last year, the fans are yet to see the track queen in action as the new season begins. Instead, she has been appearing virtually time and again to drop cryptic messages, raising anticipation in the Olympic year.
