In the video, the LSU sensation, while sharing her thoughts about the race, told the media, ‘I am just coming out here doing the best I could, but I have no problem, the ladies that are excited are doing their best here, one, two, three all the way down to me, four, and the entire field.”

Further, while sending a silent alarm to her Jamaican rivals, Sha’Carri Richardson added, “I can’t wait to see these same ladies next year in 2024.”
