Sha'Carri Richardson has explained why she does not regret failing to win gold in the final of the 100 meters in Paris, a race she was widely expected to win.
Six months after falling short of Olympic gold in the 100 meters at the Paris 2024 Games, Sha'Carri Richardson remains undeterred.
Despite entering the event as the favorite, she was upstaged by Julien Alfred, who stormed to victory in 10.72 seconds, securing St Lucia's first-ever Olympic medal.
Richardson, who finished 0.15 seconds behind Alfred—the largest Olympic 100m winning margin since 2008—has chosen not to dwell on the setback.

Acknowledging the race-day circumstances, including Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce’s abrupt withdrawal before the semifinals, Richardson refused to assign blame or seek explanations for her defeat.

‘A lot of people really do not understand’—Sha’Carri Richardson backs Noah Lyles on ‘worrying’ state of track and field
Sha'Carri Richardson has explained how she wants to use her influence and platform to help change one big worrying state about the sport of track and field.
“I feel like everything that happened, I would not even try to define an explanation for the mishap at the meet that they saw online, but at the end of the day, I felt like what was put out to me, my heart and my body to perform out there aligned with my journey long term. One monkey does not stop no show.”
Though Paris did not go as planned, Richardson swiftly found redemption. At the Zurich Diamond League a month later, she exacted revenge on Alfred, winning their highly anticipated rematch in 10.84 seconds.
She can also take pride in the fact that she brought back the Olympic 4 by 100m relay title to the USA after anchoring the team in sublime stile to help them get the gold medal at the same games.
With an electrifying final 40 meters, Richardson surged past the Saint Lucian, reasserting her dominance on the global stage.

For Richardson, the Olympic disappointment is merely a chapter in a much larger story. Her focus is now firmly set on the Tokyo 2025 World Championships and, ultimately, the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.
If her resilience and competitive spirit are any indication, this setback may very well be the fuel she needs to chase even greater success.
