Sha’Carri Richardson?s 2021 season
Sha?Carri Richardson has been steadily gaining momentum as a sprinter in the last few years. With a personal best of 10.72, she is one of America?s fastest women sprinters. Richardson has amassed a net worth of a million dollars by the young age of 22.
The 2021 season, however, was a rollercoaster ride for the sprinter. In the US Olympic trials, Richardson dominated the women’s 100m event, capturing her prelim, semi-final, and final in blistering fashion.
Easily, Richardson had qualified for Tokyo 2020 and was the woman to watch out for. But in a turn of events, she was suspended from competition for a month after testing positive for marijuana on a drug test. This ban lost her a hard-earned spot at the Olympics.
Showdown with Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce
Richardson missed her shot at the Olympic Games. Later in the season, she returned to competition with the Prefontaine Classic at the University of Oregon, where she was placed last.
